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.[2][3]
Created by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as part of the 2023 redistricting process, it was first contested in the 2024 general election.[1] The inaugural member for the district, elected in June 2024, is Jessica Saiden Quiroz of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4][5]

The 6th district was created as part of the National Electoral Institute's 2023 redistricting process to reflect shifting population dynamics across the country.[1] Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[9] the 6th 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.[10][11][a]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Mérida. The district had a population of 373,556 in the 2020 census and, 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 INE as an indigenous district.[1][b]
