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 fifth region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Dionicia Vázquez García [es]. Originally elected for the Labour Party (PT), she switched allegiance to the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) on 19 September 2024.[4][5][6]
