Veracruz lost a congressional district in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.{{cite news |last1=De la Rosa |first1=Yared |title=Nueva distritación electoral le quita diputados a la CDMX y le agrega a Nuevo León |url=https://www.forbes.com.mx/nueva-distritacion-electoral-le-quita-diputados-a-la-cdmx-y-le-agrega-a-nuevo-leon/ |access-date=12 July 2024 |work=Forbes México |date=20 February 2023}}

Under the 2022 plan it covers all 261 precincts (secciones electorales) in the city of Xalapa and its surrounding municipality.{{cite web |last1=De Luna |first1=Francisco |title=Rumbo a 2024: la nueva distritación federal en Veracruz a partir de septiembre |url=https://e-veracruz.mx/nota/2023-08-01/elecciones/rumbo-2024-la-nueva-distritacion-federal-en-veracruz-partir-de-septiembre |website=e-consulta.com Veracruz |access-date=12 July 2024 |date=1 August 2023}} Xalapa, the state capital, also serves as the district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied.

1978–1996

Under that plan, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23.{{cite book |last1=González Casanova |first1=Pablo |author1-link=Pablo González Casanova |title=Las Elecciones en México: evolución y perspectivas |date=1993 |publisher=Siglo XXI |isbn=9789682313219 |edition=3 |page=219 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=50GTKb1K9jcC |access-date=11 July 2024}} The 10th district had its head town at Córdoba and it covered the municipalities of Amatlán de los Reyes, Atoyac, Córdoba, Fortín and Ixtaczoquitlán.{{cite web |title=Veracruz |url=https://www.dof.gob.mx/nota_to_imagen_fs.php?cod_diario=202824&pagina=39&seccion=0 |website=División del Territorio de la República en 300 Distritos Electorales Uninominales para Elecciones Federales |publisher=Diario Oficial de la Federación |access-date=30 June 2024 |page=39 |date=29 May 1978}}
