Election Districting

Election districting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of electoral districts used in elections. This ensures fair representation for communities in legislative bodies. Each district elects representatives, and districts should ideally have equal populations to maintain equal voting power. However, districting can sometimes lead to unfair advantages, known as gerrymandering, where boundaries are manipulated to favor a particular political party. Effective districting should consider factors like population, geography, and community interests to create a balanced political landscape that accurately reflects the voters' needs and preferences.
