description Regardless of the reformist advancements of the election system, there are still unresolved issues. In the case of Mexico and in the midst of a debate on our transition process we place the issue of district overrepresentation, wich by generating multiple effects configures a point of deep discussion thus concerning the system of representation, the integration of the house of representatives, the parties system and above all it puts a debate on the following premise: "a vote per citizen", that is, the principle of equalness in democracy, which translated to the field of elections means, as Bovero stated, assigning an equal-valve decition quota to each citizen. In the case of Baja California, our purpose is to demonstrate that the issues related to the deficient district representation, the integration of the parties within the house of representatives, and as a consequence the athrophy of the parties system continue to be an actual problem on this transition process that haven't been able to trascend the margins of regional and local dynamics of politics and power. This study includes an analysis of territorial-demography of legislative representation of Baja California, taking as a reference all research undertaken on similar phenomena by Diego Reynoso, FLACSO researcher.

No obstante los avances reformistas en materia del sistema electoral, existen temas aún no resueltos. En el caso de México, y en medio de un debate acerca de nuestra transición, situamos el tema de la sobrerrepresentación distrital, el cual por generar efectos múltiples configura un punto de profunda discusión ya que atañe tanto al sistema de representación como a la integración de la Cámara y al sistema de partidos, pero sobre todo pone a debate la premisa “un ciudadano, un voto”, es decir, el principio de la igualdad democrática, que traducido al campo electoral significa asignarle, como afirma Bovero, una cuota igual de valor de decisión a cada uno de los ciudadanos. Para el caso de Baja California, proponemos demostrar que los temas relacionados con la deficiente representación distrital, la integración partidaria de la Cámara de Representantes y, en consecuencia, el atrofiamiento del sistema de partidos siguen vigentes como problemas de una transición que no ha podido trascender los márgenes de la dinámica de la política y del poder de las regiones y localidades. El estudio incluye el análisis de la estructura territorial-demográfica de la representación legislativa de Baja California tomando como referente metodológico lo que para fenómenos similares ha realizado Diego Reynoso, investigador de FLACSO.
