Composition
The House of Representatives is composed of one federal representative (in Spanish: diputado federal) for every 200,000 citizens. The House has 500 members, elected using the parallel voting system. Elections are every 3 years.

From 1917 to 2015, deputies were barred from serving consecutive terms in accordance with the Constitution's ban on immediate re-election to the legislature. Thus, the House of Representatives was one of the few legislative bodies in the world that was completely renewed at an election. However, this changed with the 2018 elections, and deputies are now permitted to run for re-election three times consecutively. A Representative who has served two terms may serve again after sitting out one term. Congressional elections held halfway into the president's six-year mandate are known as mid-term elections.
The current composition of the House of Representatives is as follows:
