The 6th federal electoral district of Chiapas (Spanish: 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.[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 third region.[2][3]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Flor de María Esponda Torres of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4][5]
District territory
[edit | edit source]Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] Chiapas's 5th district covers 169 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 10 municipalities:[7][8]
- Acala, Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapilla, Emiliano Zapata, Nicolás Ruiz, San Lucas, Suchiapa, Totolapa, Tuxtla Gutiérrez (part)[a] and Venustiano Carranza.
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 Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The district reported a population of 431,967 in the 2020 Census.[1]

2005–2017
- From 2005 to 2017, the 6th 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.[13]
1996–2005
- Between 1996 and 2005, the district had a different configuration. The head town was Chiapa de Corzo and it covered the following municipalities:
- Acala, Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapilla, Ixtapa, Nicolás Ruiz, San Lucas, Soyaló, Totolapa and Venustiano Carranza, all of which remained assigned to district in the 2005 plan, plus:
- Bochil, La Concordia, and Villa Corzo.[14]
1978–1996
- 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.[15] The 6th district had its head town at Palenque and it covered 12 municipalities.[16]
