13th federal electoral district of Jalisco

The 13th federal electoral district of Jalisco () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 20 such districts in the state of Jalisco.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is José Luis Sánchez González of the Labour Party (PT).

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Jalisco regained its 20th congressional seat in the 2017 redistricting process. The 13th district's head town was at Tlaquepaque and it covered 84 precincts in that municipality and 54 in neighbouring Zapopan.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Jalisco had 19 districts. This district covered 231 precincts in the centre and south-east of the municipality of Guadalajara.

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Jalisco lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at Guadalajara and it comprised 183 precincts in the south-east of that municipality.

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Jalisco's seat allocation rose from 13 to 20. The 13th district's head town was at Guadalajara and it covered portions of the city's Juárez and Libertad sectors.
