The 6th federal electoral district of Coahuila (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 06 de Coahuila) 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 Coahuila. [1]

Contents

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 second region. [2] [3]

Suspended in 1930, [a] the 6th district was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election. [7] The restored district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-terms.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Cintia Cuevas Sánchez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). [8] [9]

District territory

In its 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute (INE) assigned Coahuila an additional district. [10] The reconfigured 6th district covers 190 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the northern portion of the municipality of Torreón. [11] [12] [b]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Torreón. The district reported a population of 358,152 in the 2020 Census. [1]

Between 2017 and 2022, the district covered 161 precincts in the municipality of Torreón, with the remainder of the municipality assigned to the 5th district. The head town was at Torreon. [14] [15]

2005–2017

Under the 2005 districting scheme, the 6th district covered 161 precincts in the northern half of the municipality of Torreón. The city of Torreón was the head town. [16] [17]

1996–2005

Under the 1996 scheme, the district covered the western portion of the city of Torreón. [18] [17]

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, Coahuila's seat allocation rose from 4 to 7. [13] The 6th district had its head town at Torreón and it covered a part of the city and the rural portion of its municipality. [19]
