• Source: Sixth federal electoral district of Hidalgo

    • The sixth federal electoral district of Hidalgo (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 the seven currently operational districts in the state of Hidalgo.
    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. As of 2024, votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth electoral region.
    Suspended in 1943, the sixth district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Hidalgo only had five congressional districts; under the 1977 reforms, the number increased to six. The restored sixth district elected its first deputy, to the 51st Congress, in the 1979 mid-term election.


    District territory


    Under the 2022 districting plan, the sixth district covers 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.
    Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, Pachuca de Soto.


    Previous districting schemes


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

    2017–2022
    The municipalities of Pachuca, Tizayuca, Tolcayuca and Zapotlán de Juárez.
    2005–2017
    The municipalities of Pachuca and Mineral de la Reforma.
    1996–2005
    The 1996 redistricting process created Hidalgo's 7th district. The sixth district covered the municipalities of Pachuca, Mineral de la Reforma, Mineral del Chico, Mineral del Monte and San Agustín Tlaxiaca.
    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. The re-established sixth district's head town was at Actopan and it covered the municipalities of 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.
