Chiapas, from 2024 to 2027

The widest winning margin of any federal district in 2024 was in Chiapas: in district 3, seated in Ocosingo, Sigamos Haciendo Historia beat Fuerza y Corazón por México by 81.7 points. Next came Palenque, at 76.4, and Las Margaritas, at 73.2, also in Chiapas and, like Ocosingo, classified by the INE as Indigenous districts. Six of the state's 13 districts carry that classification, and the three Sigamos Haciendo Historia partners won every one of them; the closest was San Cristóbal de las Casas, decided by 5.4 points.

The state has another unusual feature: the PVEM was the second force, with 21.7% of the valid vote, a share it topped only in San Luis Potosí. Morena led with 42.8% and the PT took 11.9%, so together the three reached 76.5%, second only to Tabasco. On the other side, the PRI got 9.8%, Movimiento Ciudadano 6.5%, the PAN 5.0% and the PRD, which has since lost its national registration, 1.8%. In Tonalá (7) and Tapachula (12), Morena and the Greens ran separately: Morena won and the PVEM came second. Spoiled ballots reached 7.0% of the total, the highest rate in the country, and in district 9, in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, an independent candidate drew 10,032 votes.

Chiapas does not elect a governor in 2027. Locally it renews its 40-member congress and 123 municipal councils. By number of voters it is the eighth-largest state (4,127,735 on the October 2026 electoral roll); in 2024, 62.3% of its roll turned out, above the national average.
