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 third region.[2][3]
The 16th district was re-established in 1978 and was subsequently contested in the 1979 mid-term election.[4]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Zenyazen Roberto Escobar García of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]

Because of shifting demographics Veracruz currently has four fewer districts than the 23 the state was allocated under the 1977 electoral reforms.[10]
2017–2022
- Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 16th district comprised nine municipalities in the same region as at present:[12]
- Amatlán de los Reyes, Atoyac, Córdoba, Chocamán, Fortín, Ixhuatlán del Café, Tepatlaxco, Tomatlán and Yanga.
- Its head town was the city of Córdoba.[11]
2005–2017
- Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[10] Between 2005 and 2017 the 16th district had its head town at Córdoba and it comprised six municipalities:[13][14]
- Amatlán de los Reyes, Atzacán, Córdoba, Fortín, Ixtaczoquitlán and Naranjal.
1996–2005
- Under the 1996 districting plan, which assigned Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Córdoba and the district covered eight municipalities.[15][14]
1978–1996
- The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23.[4] The newly created 16th district had its head town at Pánuco in the north of the state and it covered the municipalities of Ozuluama, Pánuco, Pueblo Viejo, Tampico Alto and Tempoal.[16]
