Canadian Electoral Boundaries Commission

The Canadian Electoral Boundaries Commission is an independent body responsible for drawing the boundaries of electoral districts (ridings) across Canada. Its goal is to ensure each district has roughly the same population, maintaining fair representation in Parliament. The commission reviews and adjusts district lines periodically, considering population shifts and community interests, to reflect current demographics accurately. This process helps ensure that every citizen’s vote carries appropriate weight, maintaining the integrity and fairness of federal elections. The commission operates independently from political parties and government, promoting transparency and impartiality in electoral boundary delineation.
