# Twelfth Federal Electoral District of the Federal District

The Twelfth Federal Electoral District of the Federal District (XII Distrito Electoral Federal del Distrito Federal) is one of the 300 Electoral Districts into which Mexico is divided for the purpose of elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 27 such districts in the Federal District ("DF" or Mexico City).

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period, by means of the first past the post system.

## District territory

Under the 2005 districting scheme, the DF's Twelfth District covers that portion of the borough (delegación) of Cuauhtémoc to the south and east of Paseo de la Reforma and Calzada de Guadalupe; it thus covers Mexico City's Centro Histórico.
