Electoral Districts

Electoral districts, also known as constituencies or ridings, are geographic areas defined for the purpose of electing representatives in legislative bodies. Each district elects one or more members to represent the interests of its residents. The boundaries of these districts can vary based on population, geography, and political considerations, and they may be redrawn periodically to reflect demographic changes. By dividing regions into districts, electoral systems aim to ensure that diverse communities have a voice in government, allowing citizens to vote for candidates who represent their specific needs and concerns.
