1st federal electoral district of Nayarit

The 1st federal electoral district of Nayarit () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of three such districts in the state of Nayarit.

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 Any Marilú Porras Baylón of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the district had the same composition as in the 2023 plan.

2005–2017

The district was in the north of the state and covered the municipalities of Acaponeta, El Nayar, Huajicori, Rosamorada, Ruiz, Santiago Ixcuintla, Tecuala and Tuxpan; i.e., the 2023 configuration without San Blas (assigned to the 3rd district). The head town was at Santiago Ixcuintla.

1996–2005

Between 1996 and 2005, the district covered seven municipalities: the same territory as in the 2005 plan, with the exception of the municipality of El Nayar, which belonged to the 2nd district.

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, Nayarit's seat allocation rose from two to three. The 1st district had its head town at Tepic and it covered the municipalities of El Nayar, Rosamorada, Tepic and Tuxpan.
