Michoacán's federal electoral districts since 2023
Michoacán under the 2017–2022 districting scheme

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 11th 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 11th district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Vanessa López Carrillo of the Labour Party (PT).[8][9]

Michoacán lost its 12th district in the 2023 districting process carried out by the National Electoral Institute (INE).

Notes

  1. 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]
  2. Báez Ceja resigned his seat on 1 March 2011.
