Federal electoral districts of Sinaloa since 2022
Sinaloa under the 2017–2022 districting scheme

The 6th federal electoral district of Sinaloa (Distrito electoral federal 06 de Sinaloa) 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 Sinaloa.[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 first region.[2][3]

Suspended in 1930,[a] the 6th district was re-established as part 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, Sinaloa's seat allocation rose from five to nine. The new districts were first contested in the 1979 legislative election.[7]

District territory

[edit]

Under the National Electoral Institute's 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[8] the sixth district comprises five of the state's municipalities:[9]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the port city of Mazatlán.[1]

2017–2022

As in the 2022 plan, the 6th district covered Cosalá, Elota and San Ignacio in their entirety, together with southern Culiacán and north-western Mazatlán. The city of Mazatlán was head town.[11][12]

1996–2017

Under both the 1996 and 2005 plans, the 6th district comprised the entire state south of Culiacán – the municipalities of Cosalá, Elota, San Ignacio, Mazatlán, Concordia, Rosario and Escuinapa. Not included was the urban core of Mazatlán (albeit with slight changes in the dividing lines used in the two schemes), which made up the 8th district.[10]

1978–1996

From 1978 to 1996, the re-established 6th district was located in the north of the state, covering the municipalities of Choix, El Fuerte, Sinaloa and rural portions of Ahome. The head town was at El Fuerte.[13]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[4][5] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[6]
  2. ^ Under the 2022 plan, the remainder of Culiacán is assigned to the 5th and 7th districts, while the remainder of Mazatlán belongs to the 1st district.
  3. ^ López Sánchez was elected for the seat but was never sworn in. He was replaced by his alternate, Vega Carlos, for the duration of his term.[23]
  4. ^ On 16 March 2006, Vega Carlos declared himself an independent.
