District territory

Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the 2023 redistricting process carried out by the National Electoral Institute (INE). Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] the 2nd district was relocated to the south-eastern portion of the municipality of Acapulco, comprising 149 precincts (secciones electorales); the remainder of the municipality makes up the 4th district.[7][8]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the resort city of Acapulco. The district reported a population of 387,126 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Between 2017 and 2022, Guerrero was allocated nine electoral districts. The 2nd district was located in the north of the state, with its head town at Iguala. It covered nine municipalities:[12][11]

Neri, Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc, Pedro Ascencio Alquisiras, Pilcaya, Taxco de Alarcón, Teloloapan and Tetipac. It did not include the municipality of Iguala, which was in the 4th district.[15][14]

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, Guerrero's district allocation rose from six to ten.[9] The 2nd district had its head town at Iguala and it covered the municipalities of Buenavista de Cuéllar, Cocula, Cuetzala del Progreso, Iguala de la Independencia, Teloloapan and Tepecoacuilco de Trujano.[16]
