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 fifth region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1930,[a] the 17th district was re-created by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, the State of Mexico's seat allocation rose from 15 to 34.[7] The new districts were first contended in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Juan Hugo de la Rosa GarcÃa of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[8][9]
District territory
Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[10] the 17th district is located in the Greater Mexico City urban area, covering 196 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across portions of two of the state's 125 municipalities:[11][12]
- Ecatepec de Morelos (south) and Nezahualcóyotl (north).[b]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ecatepec. In the 2020 Census, the district reported a total population of 365,602.[1]

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 remainder of Ecatepec is covered by the 10th, 11th, 13th and 16th districts; the remainder of Nezahualcóyotl is covered by the 29th and 31st districts.
