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 third region.[2][3]
The district was created upon Quintana Roo's statehood in 1974.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Elda María Xix Euan of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4][5]
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,[6] the 2nd district covers 291 precincts (secciones electorales) across five of the state's 11 municipalities:[7]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Chetumal. The district reported a population of 445,278 in the 2020 Census and, with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 49% of that total, Quintana Roo's 2nd is classified by the INE as an indigenous district: the only one in the state.[1][a]

2017–2022
- The 2017 redistricting process assigned Quintana Roo its 4th district. From 2017 to 2022, the 2nd district had its head town at Chetumal and it comprised four municipalities:[10][11]
- Bacalar, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, José María Morelos and Othón P. Blanco.
2005–2017
- The 2005 districting scheme created the state's 3rd district. Between 2005 and 2017, the 2nd district covered three municipalities: Othón P. Blanco, Felipe Carrillo Puerto and José María Morelos. The head town was the city of Chetumal.[12][13]
1996–2005
- Between 1996 and 2005, the district covered the same three municipalities as under the 2005 plan.[14][13]
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; Quintana Roo's allocation, however, remained at two.[8] The 2nd district's head town was at Cozumel and it comprised five of the state's (at the time) seven municipalities:[15]
Prior to 1978
- Quintana Roo was admitted to the union on 8 October 1974. Prior to that, as a federal territory, it was allowed only one seat in the Chamber of Deputies (for the 1st district). The 2nd district was created upon statehood in 1974, by halving the territory of the first district; it elected its first deputy in a special election in 1974.
