Historical and present district boundaries

Until the

1968 elections, New Mexico's representatives were all elected at-large. Starting in 1968, they were elected by districts.[13] For the first election, under the new system of congressional districts in 1968, there were only two, drawn on the basis of the census of 1960. They were not changed after the census of 1970, "because the deviation from the average population of 508,000 was only .62 % ."[14]
