The fifth federal electoral district of Zacatecas (Distrito electoral federal 05 de Zacatecas) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Zacatecas.
During its existence, the fifth district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th Congresses. It was created as part of the 1977 political reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.[1] It was dissolved in 2005 because the state's population no longer warranted five districts.[2]
In its final form, the district comprised the municipalities of Apozol, Apulco, Atolinga, Benito Juárez, El Plateado de Joaquín Amaro, Huanusco, Jalpa, Juchipila, Mezquital del Oro, Momax, Monte Escobedo, Moyahua de Estrada, Nochistlán de Mejía, Susticacan, Tabasco, Tepechitlán, Tepetongo, Teul de González Ortega, Tlaltenango de Sánchez Román, Trinidad García de la Cadena and Villanueva. Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and collated, was the city of Juchipila in the extreme south of the state.[3]
