Boundary Commission

A Boundary Commission is an independent body responsible for reviewing and recommending changes to the boundaries of electoral constituencies in a country. Its main goal is to ensure fair representation in parliament by making sure that each constituency has roughly the same number of voters. This process helps to reflect population changes over time, such as movement or growth, and aims to prevent any political party from gaining an unfair advantage by manipulating district lines, a practice known as gerrymandering. Boundary Commissions play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the democratic electoral process.
