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 this district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the second region.[1][2]
The third district was re-established as part of the 1996 redistricting process[3] and has therefore returned deputies to Congress since the 1997 legislative election.
