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 fourth region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Federico Döring Casar of the National Action Party (PAN).[4][5]

Notes

  1. [a]
    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";[16][17] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[18]
  2. [b]
    Sotomayor Chávez resigned from the PAN on 5 February 2015, saying that it was no longer a "viable option".[41]
