16th federal electoral district of Jalisco

The 16th 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.

Suspended in 1930, the 16th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Alberto Maldonado Chavarín of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Jalisco regained its 20th congressional seat in the 2017 redistricting process. The 16th district's head town was at Tlaquepaque and it covered 115 precincts in the east of that municipality.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Jalisco had 19 districts. This district's head town was at Tlaquepaque and it covered 130 precincts in the centre of the municipality.

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Jalisco lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at Tlaquepaque and it comprised the entire 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 restored 16th district's head town was at Guadalajara, the state capital, and it covered parts of the city's Libertad and Reforma sectors.
