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 second region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1943,[a] Guanajuato's 10th was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.[6]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Alejandro Calderón DÃaz of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[7][8]
