The 6th federal electoral district of Puebla (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 06 de Puebla) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 16 such districts in the state of Puebla.[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 fourth region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Alejandro Carvajal Hidalgo of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[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, Puebla's congressional seat allocation rose from 15 to 16.[6] The 6th district covers 145 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the municipality of Puebla.[7][8][a]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Puebla. The district reported a population of 420,886 in the 2020 Census.[1]

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, Puebla's seat allocation rose from 10 to 14.[9] The 6th district's head town was at Tehuacán and it covered 14 municipalities in the east of the state.[16]
