Sixth federal electoral district of Guerrero explained
The sixth federal electoral district of Guerrero (Distrito electoral federal 06 de Guerrero) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Guerrero.
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 the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth region.[1] [2]
District territory
Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] the reconfigured sixth district covers ten municipalities in the north-east of the state:[4]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Chilapa de Álvarez.[5]
With Indigenous and Afro-Mexican inhabitants accounting for over 45% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[4]
Previous districting schemes
- 2017–2022Between 2017 and 2022, Guerrero was allocated nine electoral districts. The sixth district had its head town at Chilapa de Álvarez and it comprised 13 municipalities:[6]
- Acatepec, Ahuacuotzingo, Atlixtac, Chilapa de Álvarez, Copanatoyac, Mártir de Cuilapán, Mochitlán, Quechultenango, Tixtla de Guerrero, Tlacoapa, Zapotitlán Tablas and Zitlala.
- 2005–2017The 2005 districting plan assigned Guerrero nine districts. The sixth district's head town was at Chilapa de Álvarez and it covered 14 municipalities:[7]
- Ahuacuotzingo, Atenango del Río, Buenavista de Cuéllar, Copalillo, Cualac, Chilapa de Álvarez, Eduardo Neri, Huamuxtitlán, Huitzuco de los Figueroa, Mártir de Cuilapán, Olinalá, Tepecoacuilco de Trujano, Xochihuehuetlán and Zitlala.
- 1996–2005Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Guerrero ten districts, the sixth district had its head town at Chilapa de Álvarez and it covered a number of municipalities in the same broad area as the later plans.[8] [9]
- 1978–1996The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Guerrero's district allocation rose from six to ten.[10] The sixth district had its head town at Ometepec and it covered eight municipalities in the south-east of the state.[11]
