It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the second region.[2][3]
The 11th district was created by the 1977 electoral reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.[4]
Pedro Garza Treviño of the National Action Party (PAN) was re-elected for the district in the 2024 general election, but requested an indefinite leave of absence from his congressional duties on 2 April 2025.[5][6] He was replaced by his daughter and alternate, Samantha Margarita Garza de la Garza.[7][8]

In its 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute (INE) increased Nuevo León's congressional seat allocation from 12 to 14.[9] The reconfigured 11th district is in the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers 222 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the municipality of Guadalupe.[10][a]
Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Guadalupe. The district reported a population of 417,573 in the 2020 Census.[1]
