The sixth federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 06 de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts currently operating in the state of Chihuahua.
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. Votes cast in this district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.[1] [2]
Under the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] the district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, the city of Chihuahua.[4] The district covers the northern and western portions of the city and its surrounding municipality.[5]
In 2017 to 2022, the sixth district covered part of the west of the city of Chihuahua and the northern portion of the municipality of Chihuahua.[6]
Between 2005 and 2017, the district covered the western portion of the municipality of Chihuahua, including approximately one-half of the city of Chihuahua.The other half of the city and the rest of the municipality were covered by the eighth district. The head town was the city of Chihuahua.[7]
Between 1996 and 2005, the district covered the northern part of the municipality of Chihuahua; i.e., it included the part of the city/municipality north of the Río Chuviscar.[8]
