The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is María Angélica Granados Trespalacios of the National Action Party (PAN).[4][5]

2017–2022
- In 2017 to 2022, the 6th district covered part of the west of the city of Chihuahua and the northern portion of the municipality of Chihuahua.[12][13]
2005–2017
- Between 2005 and 2017, the district covered the western portion of the municipality of Chihuahua, including approximately half of the city of Chihuahua. The other half of the city and the rest of the municipality were covered by the 8th district. The head town was the city of Chihuahua.[14][15]
1996–2005
- Chihuahua lost its 10th district in the 1996 redistricting process. Between 1996 and 2005, the 6th district covered the northern part of the municipality of Chihuahua; i.e., it included the part of the city/municipality north of the Río Chuviscar.[16][15]
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, Chihuahua's seat allocation rose from six to ten.[9] The 6th district was located in the eastern central part of the state, centred on the city of Camargo and covering the municipalities of Camargo, Coyame, Delicias, Jiménez, La Cruz, Manuel Benavides, Ojinaga and Saucillo.[17]
