Federal electoral districts of Veracruz since 2023 Veracruz under the 2017–2022 districting plan The 6th federal electoral district of Veracruz (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 06 de Veracruz ) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz . [ 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, re-elected in the 2024 general election , is Jaime Humberto Pérez Bernabé of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). [ 4] [ 5]
District territory Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024 , 2027 and 2030 elections. [ 6] The reconfigured 6th district covers 250 electoral precincts (secciones electorales ) across 13 municipalities in the Totonaca region of the state: [ 7] [ 8]
Cazones de Herrera , Chumatlán , Coahuitlán , Coatzintla , Coxquihui , Coyutla , Espinal , Filomeno Mata , Gutiérrez Zamora , Mecatlán , Papantla , Tecolutla and Zozocolco . The head town (cabecera distrital ), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Papantla de Olarte . The district reported a population of 416,607 in the 2020 Census and, with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 67% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.

Because of shifting demographics, Veracruz currently has four fewer districts than the 23 the state was allocated under the 1977 electoral reforms . [ 11]
2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 6th district still had its head town at Papantla and it comprised 15 municipalities: [ 13] [ 12] Coahuitlán , Colipa , Coxquihui , Coyutla , Chumatlán , Espinal , Filomeno Mata , Gutiérrez Zamora , Mecatlán , Nautla , Papantla , San Rafael , Tecolutla , Vega de Alatorre and Zozocolco . 2005–2017
Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process. [ 11] Between 2005 and 2017 the district had its head town at Papantla and it covered 11 municipalities: [ 14] [ 15] Coahuitlán, Coxquihui, Coyutla, Chumatlán, Espinal, Filomeno Mata, Gutiérrez Zamora, Mecatlán, Papantla, Tecolutla and Zozocolco. 1996–2005
Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Papantla and the district covered 9 municipalities. [ 16] [ 15] 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, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23. [ 10] The 6th district had its head town at Xalapa and it covered the municipalities of Acatlán, Xalapa, Naolinco and Tepetlán.
