The 6th federal electoral district of Guerrero () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Guerrero.
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 fourth region.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is MarÃÂa del Carmen Nava GarcÃÂa of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM)
District territory
Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the 2023 redistricting process carried out by the National Electoral Institute (INE). Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the reconfigured 6th district covers 355 electoral precincts () across ten municipalities in the north-east of the state:
The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Chilapa de ÃÂlvarez. The district reported a population of 462,003 in the 2020 Census; with Indigenous and Afro-Mexican inhabitants accounting for over 45% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.
Previous districting schemes
Because of shifting population patterns, Guerrero currently has two fewer districts than the ten the state was assigned under the 1977 electoral reforms that set the national total at 300.

Between 2017 and 2022, Guerrero was allocated nine electoral districts. The 6th district had its head town at Chilapa de ÃÂlvarez and it comprised 13 municipalities:
*Acatepec, Ahuacuotzingo, Atlixtac, Chilapa de ÃÂlvarez, Copanatoyac, Mártir de Cuilapán, Mochitlán, Quechultenango, Tixtla de Guerrero, Tlacoapa, Zapotitlán Tablas and Zitlala.

1996âÂÂ2005
Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Guerrero ten districts, the 6th district had its head town at Chilapa de ÃÂlvarez and it covered 10 municipalities in the same broad area as the later plans.
*Acatepec, Ahuacuotzingo, Atlixtac, Chilapa de ÃÂlvarez, Mártir de Cuilapán, Mochitlán, Quechultenango, Tixtla de Guerrero, Zapotitlán Tablas and Zitlala.
1978âÂÂ1996
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, Guerrero's district allocation rose from six to ten. The 6th district had its head town at Ometepec and it covered eight municipalities in the south-east of the state.
