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 first region.[2][3]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Alejandro Pérez Cuéllar of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[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 district covers 349 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north of Ciudad Juárez.[7][8][a]
Ciudad Juárez also serves as its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied. The district reported a population of 378,104 in the 2020 Census.[1]

2005–2017
- Under the 2005 districting scheme, the district covered the southern portion of Ciudad Juárez, which also served as the head town.[14][15]
1996–2005
- Chihuahua lost its 10th district in the 1996 redistricting process. The 4th district covered almost exactly the same area as in the 2005 configuration.[16][15]
1979–1996
- 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, Chihuahua's seat allocation rose from six to ten.[9] The 4th district covered a portion of the Ciudad Juárez urban area and the rural portion of the municipality of Juárez.[17]
