1st federal electoral district of Chihuahua

The 1st federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 01 de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts currently operating in the state of Chihuahua.

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.{{cite web |title=How Mexico Elects Its Leaders — The Rules |url=https://mexicosolidarityproject.org/voices/172/ |website=Mexico Solidarity Project |access-date=20 July 2024 |date=31 January 2024}}{{cite web |title=Acuerdo del Consejo General del Instituto Nacional Electoral por el que se aprueba la demarcación territorial de las cinco circunscripciones electorales plurinominales federales en que se divide el país |url=https://www.dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle_popup.php?codigo=5684199 |work=Diario Oficial de la Federación |publisher=Instituto Nacional Electoral |access-date=21 August 2024 |date=27 February 2023}}
