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]
The 26th district was 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.[4] 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 Luis Enrique Miranda Barrera of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[5][6]
