The Congress is unicameral and consists of 35 deputies. 21 deputies are elected on a first-past-the-post basis, one for each district in which the entity is divided, while 14 are elected through a system of proportional representation. Deputies are elected to serve for a three-year term.

Since its installation the congress has been renewed 62 times, hence the current session of the Congress of Tabasco (whose term lasts from 2018 to 2021) is known as the LXIII Legislature.
