Legislative Districts

Legislative districts are specific geographic areas established for electoral purposes, where representatives are elected to legislative bodies, like Congress or state legislatures. Each district is designed to have roughly equal populations to ensure fair representation. Voters in a district choose their representative, who then advocates for their interests at the appropriate level of government. The boundaries of these districts can change over time due to population shifts and are often redrawn through a process called redistricting, which can influence political power and representation.
