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 17th 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, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Antonio de Jesús RamÃrez Ramos of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[7][8]

It comprises 153 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across nine of the state's 125 municipalities:[10]

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]
