The district elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session through the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also contribute to 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 Silvia Patricia Jiménez Delgado of the National Action Party (PAN).[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 4th district covers 414 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the mostly urban portion of the municipality of Durango excluded from the 1st district.[7][8]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Victoria de Durango. The district reported a population of 461,881 in the 2020 Census.[1]
