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]

The district was created in 1974 when Baja California Sur acquired statehood and was first contended in the 1976 general election. The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Luis Armando Díaz of the Labour Party (PT).^[4][5]
