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.[1][2]

The 12th district was created in 1996. Between 1979 and 1996, the state had only nine congressional districts; the 1996 redistricting process increased the number to 12.[3] The three new districts elected their first deputies, to the 57th Congress, in the 1997 mid-terms.

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Tapachula.[6]
