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 20th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. It was suspended again in 1996 but restored by the National Electoral Institute (INE) in its 2017 redistricting.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Katia Alejandra Castillo Lozano of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[7][8]

Under that plan, Jalisco's seat allocation rose from 13 to 20.[11] The 20th district's head town was at Zapopan and it covered a part of the city, a part of its surrounding municipality, and the whole of the neighbouring municipality of Tala.[15]

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]
- The bulk of Tonalá (69 precincts) is assigned to the 7th district.
