The 6th federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 06 de Nuevo León) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 14 such districts in the state of Nuevo León.[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 second region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Annia Gómez Cárdenas of the National Action Party (PAN).[4][5]

District territory

Under the 2022 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] Nuevo León's congressional seat allocation rose from 12 to 14. The sixth district is in the centre of the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers 272 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the central-western portion of the municipality of Monterrey.[7][a]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Monterrey. The district reported a population of 375,283 in the 2020 Census.[1]
