Sixth federal electoral district of Durango

The sixth federal electoral district of Durango (Distrito electoral federal 06 de Durango) is a defunct Mexican electoral district. Most recently, it existed from 1977 to 1996, during the 51st to 56th sessions of Congress, when it returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each three-year legislative period, by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.[1][2]

It was dissolved in the 1996 redistricting process, when Durango's population no longer warranted six districts.[3][4]

Territory

edit

The 1977 electoral reforms increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Durango's seat allocation rose from four to six.[5] The sixth district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and collated, was at Lerdo and it covered the municipalities of El Oro, Hidalgo, Indé, Lerdo, Mapimí, Nazas, Ocampo, San Luis del Cordero and San Pedro del Gallo.[6]
