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]
Suspended in 1930,[a] the 19th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Clara Cárdenas Galván of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[7][8]

It comprises 179 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 20 of the state's 125 municipalities:[10]
- Atoyac, Concepción de Buenos Aires, Gómez Farías, Jilotlán de los Dolores, Santa María del Oro, La Manzanilla de La Paz, Mazamitla, Pihuamo, Quitupan, Sayula, Tamazula de Gordiano, Tecalitlán, Teocuitatlán de Corona, Tizapán el Alto, Tonila, Tuxcueca, Tuxpan, Valle de Juárez, Zapotiltic and Zapotlán el Grande.
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ciudad Guzmán, the municipal seat of Zapotlán el Grande. The district reported a population of 413,620 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]
- Esquer Gutiérrez resigned his seat on 3 December 2018 and was replaced for the remainder of his term by his alternate, Del Toro Pérez.
