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.
Chiapas's eighth district was created as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Chiapas had only six congressional districts;[1] under the 1977 reforms, the number increased to nine.[2] The newly created eighth district elected its first deputy, to the 51st Congress, in the 1979 legislative election.

editUnder the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] Chiapas's eighth district covers seven municipalities near the Guatemalan border:

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Comitán de Domínguez.[5]
