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 fourth region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1930,[a] Puebla's 11th was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.[7]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is José Antonio López Ruiz of the Labour Party (PT).[8][9]

Notes
- An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[4][5] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[6]
- The 6th, 7th, 9th and 12th districts cover the remainder of the municipality.
- Palomares RamÃrez was originally elected for the PVEM. In October 2015 she switched to the PRI; in August 2017, to the PVEM; in September 2017, to the PRI; and in March 2018, to the PANAL. She resigned her seat on 2 April 2018.
- Fernández Zempoalteca, the alternate, replaced Palomares RamÃrez on 19 April 2018. On 24 April she announced she would caucus with the PRI.
- On 30 April 2021, Morena indicated its decision to expel Huerta from its bloc in Congress "because of the charges levelled against him". In February 2024, he was sentenced to 22 years imprisonment for statutory rape.[38]
