The sixth federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 06 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.

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.

District territory

Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections. The reconfigured sixth district covers 13 municipalities in the Totonaca region of the state:

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Papantla de Olarte.

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 67% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute as an indigenous district.

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The sixth district still had its head town at Papantla and it comprised 15 municipalities: Coahuitlán, Colipa, Coxquihui, Coyutla, Chumatlán, Espinal, Filomeno Mata, Gutiérrez Zamora, Mecatlán, Nautla, Papantla, San Rafael, Tecolutla, Vega de Alatorre and Zozocolco.

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process. Between 2005 and 2017 the district had its head town at Papantla and it covered 11 municipalities: Coahuitlán, Coxquihui, Coyutla, Chumatlán, Espinal, Filomeno Mata, Gutiérrez Zamora, Mecatlán, Papantla, Tecolutla and Zozocolco.

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Papantla.

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, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23. The sixth district had its head town at Xalapa and it covered the municipalities of Acatlán, Xalapa, Naolinco and Tepetlán.
