Electoral Census

An electoral census is a systematic count and assessment of eligible voters within a specific area, typically conducted before elections. It aims to gather accurate data on the population's demographics, ensuring that electoral districts are drawn fairly and that resources are allocated appropriately. This process helps maintain the principle of "one person, one vote" by ensuring that representation in government reflects the population's size and distribution. In some countries, the census also informs policies related to voting rights and access, ultimately supporting a fair electoral process.
