Electoral District

An electoral district, also known as a constituency or riding, is a specific geographical area from which voters elect a representative to a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. Each district is designed to contain roughly equal populations to ensure fair representation. During elections, registered voters in that area cast their ballots for candidates running to represent them. The number of electoral districts can vary based on the size and population of a country, and boundaries may change over time due to factors like demographic shifts or redistricting efforts.
