The 1st federal electoral district of Durango (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 01 de Durango) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of four such districts in the state of Durango.[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 first region.[2][3]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Martha Olivia García Vidaña of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[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 1st district covers 395 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 11 municipalities in the west and south of the state:[7][8]
- Durango (106 precincts in the municipality's rural west),[a] Canelas, Guanaceví, Mezquital, Otáez, Pueblo Nuevo, San Dimas, Santiago Papasquiaro, Tamazula, Tepehuanes and Topia.
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Victoria de Durango. The district reported a population of 459,351 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Under that plan, Durango's seat allocation rose from four to six.[9] The reconfigured 1st district's head town was at Victoria de Durango and it covered a part of that city.[16]
