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.
The eleventh district of Chiapas was created in 1996. Between 1979 and 1996, Chiapas only had nine federal electoral districts; the 1996 redistricting process increased the number to 12.[1] The eleventh district elected its first deputy, to the 57th Congress, in the 1997 mid-terms.
