Tamaulipas's districts in 2017–2022

The 6th federal electoral district of Tamaulipas (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 06 de Tamaulipas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Tamaulipas.[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, elected in the 2024 general election, is Blanca Araceli Narro Panameño of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4][5]

District territory

Tamaulipas lost a district in the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections.[6] The reconfigured 6th district covers the south of the state and comprises 281 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across nine of the state's 43 municipalities:[7][8]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ciudad Mante. The district reported a population of 502,617 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Under that plan, Tamaulipas's seat allocation rose from six to nine.[9] The 6th district's head town was at Ciudad Madero and it covered the municipalities of Altamira, Ciudad Madero and González.[16]
