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 that plan, Jalisco's seat allocation rose from 13 to 20.^[11] The restored 16th district's head town was at Guadalajara, the state capital, and it covered parts of the city's Libertad and Reforma sectors.^[18]
