The twenty-third federal electoral district of Mexico City (''Distrito electoral federal 23 de la Ciudad de México''; previously "of the Federal District") is a defunct
Mexican electoral district. It was in existence from 1961 to 2023.
During that time, it returned one deputy to the
Chamber of Deputies
The chamber of deputies is the lower house in many bicameral legislatures and the sole house in some unicameral legislatures.
Description
Historically, French Chamber of Deputies was the lower house of the French Parliament during the Bourbon R ...
for each three-year legislative session by means of the
first-past-the-post system, electing its first in the
1961 mid-term election and its last in the
2021 mid-terms. From 1979 onwards, votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's
electoral regions.
The 23rd and
24th districts were abolished in the 2022 redistricting process because the capital's population no longer warranted that number of seats in
Congress.

;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, the Federal District's seat allocation rose from 27 to 40.
Between 1978 and 1996, the district comprised the whole of the borough of
Cuajimalpa and part of
Álvaro Obregón.
