2nd federal electoral district of Campeche

The 2nd federal electoral district of Campeche () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of two such districts in the state of Campeche.

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 third region.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Gabriela del Carmen Basto González of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

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. Campeche's seat allocation, however, remained unchanged at two. The 2nd district had its head town at the state capital, San Francisco de Campeche, and it covered the municipalities of Calkiní, Campeche, Hecelchakán, Hopelchén and Tenabo.
