It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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.[1][2]
Created as part of the 2022 redistricting process, it was first contested in the 2024 general election.[3]
The sixth district was created as part of the 2022 redistricting process to reflect shifting population dynamics across the country.[3] Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4] the sixth district comprises 145 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the urban core of the municipality of Mérida and the whole of the neighbouring municipality of Kanasín.[5][lower-alpha 1]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, the city of Mérida.[3]
The district has a population of 373,556.[lower-alpha 2] With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 47% of that number, Yucatán's sixth – like all the state's electoral districts, both local and federal – is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[3]
