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.[2][3]
Tabasco's 6th was created by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 1996 redistricting process to accommodate shifting demographics.[4] The new district elected its first deputy in the 1997 mid-terms.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Tey Mollinedo Cano of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]
