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 second region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1930,[a] Guanajuato's 11th was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.[7]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Miguel Ãngel Salim Alle of the National Action Party (PAN).[8][9]

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,[10] Guanajuato's 11th district covers 171 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across the southern portion of the municipality of León.[11][b]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of León. The district reported a population of 430,097 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]
