1996–2022
- Under the 1996, 2005 and 2017 districting plans, the 2nd district had the same configuration as under the 2023 scheme, covering the municipality of Ahome.[10][11][9][12][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. Under that plan, Sinaloa's seat allocation rose from five to nine.[8] The 2nd district comprised the municipality of Guasave.[14]
