The 3rd federal electoral district of San Luis Potosí (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 03 de San Luis Potosí) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of seven such districts in the state of San Luis Potosí.[1]

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.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Óscar Bautista Villegas of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[4][5]

District territory

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,[6] the third district is situated in the central region of the state. It covers 335 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 13 of its municipalities:[7]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Rioverde. The district reported a population of 357,788 in the 2020 Census.[1]

1978–1996

Under that plan, San Luis Potosí's seat allocation rose from five to seven.[8] The third district's head town was at Rioverde and it covered the municipalities of Ciudad Fernández, Mexquitic, Rioverde, San Nicolás Tolentino, Santa María del Río, Tierra Nueva, Villa de Arriaga, Villa de Reyes and Zaragoza.[15]
