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; since 2024, those elected from the fifth region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1930,[a] the 3rd district was re-established by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under those reforms, Querétaro's seat allocation rose from two to three.[7] The new district was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Lorena García Jimeno Alcocer of the National Action Party (PAN).[8][9]
District territory
Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which assigned Querétaro an additional seat in Congress and is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[10] the 3rd district covers 185 precincts (secciones electorales) across a portion of the municipality of Querétaro.[11][12]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Santiago de Querétaro. The district reported a population of 420,281 in the 2020 Census.[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]
