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]
The 6th district was created by the 1977 electoral reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.[4] The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Gilberto Herrera Solórzano of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]
District territory
Under its 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute increased Baja California's seat allocation from eight to nine.[7] The 6th district covers 286 precincts (secciones electorales) in the north-west of the municipality of Tijuana, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and the U.S. border.[8][a]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Tijuana. The district reported a population of 424,896 in the 2020 Census.[1]
