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

Tabasco's 6th was created by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 1996 redistricting process to accommodate shifting demographics.[4] The new district elected its first deputy in the 1997 mid-terms.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Tey Mollinedo Cano of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]

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,[7] Tabasco's 6th district is in the centre-south of Tabasco and covers 159 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across four of the state's municipalities:[8]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the Ranchería Ixtacomitán neighbourhood on the outskirts of the state capital, Villahermosa. The district reported a population of 414,187 in the 2020 Census.[1]
