Parliamentary Constituency Boundary Review

A Parliamentary Constituency Boundary Review is a process that examines and adjusts the geographical boundaries of electoral districts, or constituencies. Its goal is to ensure each constituency has a roughly equal number of voters, reflecting population changes over time. This helps maintain fair representation in Parliament, preventing any area from being over- or under-represented. The review considers factors like population shifts, community ties, and geographical features. Typically conducted by an independent commission, the process results in updated boundaries that better represent current demographics, ensuring elections remain equitable and representative of the population.
