It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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 4th district was created through the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under those reforms, Morelos's seat allocation rose from two to four.[4] The two new districts were first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Juan Ángel Flores Bustamante of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]
