6th district in 2005–2017

The 6th federal electoral district of Hidalgo (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 06 de Hidalgo) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of seven such districts in the state of Hidalgo. ^[1]

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 electoral region. ^{[2] [3] [a]}

Suspended in 1943, the 6th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Hidalgo only had five congressional districts; ^[5] under the 1977 reforms, the number increased to six. ^[6] The restored 6th district elected its first deputy, to the 51st Congress, in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Ricardo Crespo Arroyo of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). ^{[7] [8]}

District territory

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, ^[9] the 6th district covers 197 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across a central portion of Hidalgo that includes the municipality of Pachuca and the municipalities of San Agustín Tlaxiaca, Ajacuba, Francisco I. Madero and Tlahuelilpan to the west. ^[10]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Pachuca de Soto. ^[11] The district reported a population of 440,567 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

Previous districting schemes

Evolution of electoral district numbers

Hidalgo	5	6	7	7	7	7
Chamber of Deputies	196	300
Sources: [1] [5] [6] [12]

Since 1996, the 6th district's various configurations have all been centred around Pachuca:

2017–2022

Under the 2017 plan, the district covered the municipalities of Pachuca, Tizayuca, Tolcayuca and Zapotlán de Juárez. ^{[13] [14]}

2005–2017

Between 2005 and 2017, it comprised the municipalities of Pachuca and Mineral de la Reforma. ^{[15] [16]}

1996–2005

The 1996 redistricting process created Hidalgo's 7th district. The 6th district covered the municipalities of Pachuca, Mineral de la Reforma, Mineral del Chico, Mineral del Monte and San Agustín Tlaxiaca. ^{[17] [16]}

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, Hidalgo's seat allocation rose from five to six. ^[5] The re-established 6th district's head town was at Actopan and it covered 18 municipalities: ^[18]

• Actopan, El Arenal, Atotonilco el Grande, Cardonal, Eloxochitlán, Huasca de Ocampo, Juárez Hidalgo, Metzquititlán, Metztitlán, Mineral del Chico, Mineral del Monte, Omitlan de Juárez, San Salvador, Santiago de Anaya, Tianguistengo, Tlahuiltepa, Xochicoatlán and Zacualtipán.
