The sixth federal electoral district of Chiapas (Distrito electoral federal 06 de Chiapas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas.
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 third region.[1][2]
Under the 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] Chiapas's fifth district covers 10 municipalities:
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 Tuxtla Gutiérrez.[5]
In 2017–2022, the district covered the municipalities of Acala, Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapilla, Ocozocoautla de Espinosa, Suchiapa, Totolapa and Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The head town was at Tuxtla Gutiérrez.[6]
From 2005 to 2017, the sixth district was located in the centre of the state and covered the municipalities of Acala, Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapilla, Chicoasén, Ixtapa, Las Rosas, Nicolás Ruiz, Osumacinta, San Lucas, Soyaló, Suchiapa, Totolapa, and Venustiano Carranza, plus the southern and western parts of the municipality of Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The head town was the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez. [7]
Between 1996 and 2005, the sixth district had a different configuration. The head town was Chiapa de Corzo and it covered the following municipalities:
The 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, Chiapas's seat allocation rose from six to nine.[9] The sixth district had its head town at Palenque and it covered 12 municipalities.[10]
