Delimitation

Delimitation is the process of determining the boundaries or limits of electoral constituencies or administrative areas. It involves redrawing maps to ensure fair representation in elections, often based on population changes, geography, and community interests. This process aims to create districts that are relatively equal in population, ensuring that each person's vote carries the same weight. Delimitation can influence political power and representation, making it a significant aspect of democratic governance and electoral integrity. It is typically carried out by an independent commission or authority to minimize bias and promote transparency.
