Electoral Districting

Electoral districting is the process of划分 an area into different regions, called districts, for the purpose of electing representatives. Each district elects one or more officials, like members of a legislative body. This process ensures that voters in a specific area have representation in government. Ideally, districts should be drawn to reflect population sizes and community interests, but sometimes they can be manipulated, a practice known as gerrymandering, to favor one political party over another. Fair districting is essential for maintaining a balanced and representative democratic system.
