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 first region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1930,[a] the 6th district was re-established as part 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, Sinaloa's seat allocation rose from five to nine. The new districts were first contested in the 1979 legislative election.[7]
The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Olegaria Carrazco Macias of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[8][9]
District territory
Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[10] the sixth district comprises 543 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across five of the state's municipalities:[11]
- Cosalá, Elota and San Ignacio in their entirety, the southern portion of Culiacán, and the north-west portion of Mazatlán.[b]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the port city of Mazatlán. The district reported a population of 434,330 in the 2020 census.[1]

Notes
- An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[4][5] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[6]
- Under the 2023 plan, the remainder of Culiacán is assigned to the 5th and 7th districts, while the remainder of Mazatlán belongs to the 1st district.
- On 16 March 2006, Vega Carlos declared himself an independent.
