    Arizona's 6th legislative district is one of 30 in the state, consisting of all of

    Pinal County. As of 2023, there are 108 precincts in the district,[1] with a total registered voter population of 151,306.[2] The district has an overall population of 225,474.[3]

    Following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (AIRC) redrew legislative district boundaries in Arizona. The 6th district was drawn to guarantee a majority Native American constituency, with 61% of residents being non-Hispanic Native Americans. According to the AIRC, the district is outside of competitive range and considered leaning Democratic.[4]

    The district is represented in the 56th Arizona State Legislature, which convenes from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, by Theresa Hatathlie (D-Coal Mine Mesa) in the Arizona Senate and by Mae Peshlakai (D-Cameron) and Myron Tsosie (D-Chinle) in the Arizona House of Representatives.[5][6]
