Sixth federal electoral district of Chihuahua explained

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.[1]

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session 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 first region.[2] [3]

District territory

Under the 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4] the district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Chihuahua.[1] The district covers the northern and western portions of the city and its surrounding municipality.[5]

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022 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]
2005–2017 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] [8]
1996–2005 Chihuahua lost its tenth district in the 1996 redistricting process. 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]
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, Chihuahua's seat allocation rose from six to ten.[9] The sixth district was located in the eastern central part of the state, centred on the city of Camargo and covering the municipalities of Camargo, Coyame, Delicias, Jiménez, La Cruz, Manuel Benavides, Ojinaga and Saucillo.[10]
