It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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 fourth electoral region.^[2][3][a]

Suspended in 1943, the 7th district was re-established as part of the 1996 redistricting process.^[5] The restored district elected its first deputy in the 1997 mid-term election. The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Mirna María de la Luz Rubio Sánchez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).^[6][7]
