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 35th and 36th districts were created by the Federal Electoral Institute's 1996 redistricting process[4] and were first contested in the 1997 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Juan Carlos Varela Domínguez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]
