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.

Under the 2005 districting scheme, Chihuahua's Third District covers the eastern portion of Ciudad Juárez.[1]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Ciudad Juárez.
Almost exactly the same as the current configuration.[2]
As at present, the Third District covered a portion of the Ciudad Juárez urban area.
