Senate Districts

Senate districts are geographic areas that divide a state for the purpose of electing state senators. Each district is designed to represent roughly the same number of people, ensuring fair representation in the state legislature. When voters in a district cast their ballots, they choose a senator who will represent their interests in the state's legislative process. District boundaries are typically redrawn every 10 years after the census to reflect population changes, a process called redistricting. This system helps organize state government and ensures residents' voices are proportionally represented in policymaking.
