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]
The district was created in 1974 when Baja California Sur acquired statehood and was first contended in the 1976 general election. The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Luis Armando Díaz of the Labour Party (PT).[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 second district comprises the 164 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) that make up the municipality of Los Cabos at the state's southern tip.[7]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San José del Cabo. The district reported a population of 351,100 in the 2020 Census.[1]
