2nd federal electoral district of Guanajuato

The 2nd federal electoral district of Guanajuato () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 15 such districts in the state of Guanajuato.

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 second region.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Alma Rosa de la Vega Vargas of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, Guanajuato's 2nd district comprises 217 electoral precincts () across four of the state's 46 municipalities:

The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San Miguel de Allende. The district reported a population of 435,292 in the 2020 Census.

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the 2nd district had the same configuration as in the 2023 plan.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Guanajuato had only 14 districts. This district's head town was at San Miguel de Allende and it covered five municipalities:
*San Miguel de Allende, Comonfort and San José Iturbide, as in the later schemes, plus Doctor Mora and Tierra Blanca.

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Guanajuato was assigned 15 seats, the district had its head town at San Miguel de Allende and it comprised nine municipalities:
*San Miguel de Allende, Doctor Mora, San José Iturbide and Tierra Blanca, as in the 2005 plan, plus Atarjea, San Luis de la Paz, Santa Catarina, Victoria and Xichú.

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, Guanajuato's seat allocation rose from 9 to 13. The 2nd district's head town was at León and it covered a part of that city and its surrounding municipality.
