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 third region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1930,[a] Tabasco's 3rd was re-established under President Luis Echeverría (1970–1976). The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1973 mid-term election.[7]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Rosa Margarita Graniel Zenteno of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[8][9]
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,[10] Tabasco's 3rd district lies to the north-west of the state capital, Villahermosa, and covers 159 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across two of the state's municipalities:[11]
- Comalcalco and Cunduacán.
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Comalcalco. The district reported a population of 354,198 in the 2020 census.[1]

2005–2017
- Under the 2005 scheme, the district covered the municipalities of Comalcalco and Cunduacán as in the later plans, but also included 29 precincts in the south-east corner of the neighbouring municipality of Cárdenas.[15][16]
1996–2005
- Tabasco gained its 6th district in the 1996 redistricting process. The 3rd covered the state's north-west, comprising the municipalities of Comalcalco, Cunduacán and Jalpa de Méndez, with the head town at Comalcalco.[17][16]
1978–1996
- The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Tabasco's seat allocation rose from three to five.[12] The 3rd district's head town was at Cárdenas and it comprised the municipalities of Cárdenas and Huimanguillo.[18]

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]
- Originally elected for the PRD, Méndez Denis switched to the Citizen's Movement on 5 March 2013. On 3 February 2015 she switched again to Morena.
