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]
César Cravioto Romero of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) was elected for the district in the 2024 general election but resigned his seat at the start of the congressional session.[4][5] He was replaced by his alternate, Jesús Emiliano Álvarez López.[6]
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,[7] the 1st district covers 248 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across the northern portion of the borough (alcaldía) of Gustavo A. Madero. This makes it the northernmost congressional district in the capital.[8][9]
The district reported a population of 423,839 in the 2020 Census.[1]

1996, 2005 and 2017 plans
- Since 1996, the 1st district has traditionally covered the northernmost portion of Gustavo A. Madero.[13][14][15][16]
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, the Federal District's seat allocation rose from 27 to 40.[10] The 1st district covered a portion of the borough of Cuauhtémoc in the centre of the city.[17]
