Thirteenth federal electoral district of Michoacán
The thirteenth federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 13 de Michoacán) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Michoacán.

During its existence, the 13th district returned one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. From 1979 onwards, votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.

Suspended in 1930,
it was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms. 
The restored 13th district was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and it elected its final deputy in the 2003 mid-terms. It was dissolved by the Instituto Federal Electoral (IFE) in the 2004/05 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted 13 districts.

District territory
1996–2005
In its final form, the 13th district comprised eight municipalities in the south-west of the state, along the border with Jalisco and Colima and the Pacific Ocean coast:
Aquila, Arteaga, Chinicuila, Coahuayana, Coalcoman, Lázaro Cárdenas, Tepalcatepec and Tumbiscatio
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, was the port city of Lázaro Cárdenas. The link contains comparative maps of the 2005 and 1996 schemes. 

1978–1996
The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13. The restored 13th district's head town was at Lázaro Cárdenas and it comprised nine municipalities:
Aguililla, Aquila, Arteaga, Buenavista, Chinicuila, Coahuayana, Coalcomán, Lázaro Cárdenas and Tepalcatepec.
