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]
Suspended in 1930,[a] the 10th district was re-established by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13.[7] The restored tenth district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is David Alejandro Cortés Mendoza of the National Action Party (PAN).[8][9]

- The remainder of the municipality makes up the 8th district.
- De los Santos Torres resigned her seat on 1 February 2018.
