redistricting

Read a random definition: à prendre

A quick definition of redistricting:

Redistricting is the process of changing the boundaries of a legislative district to make sure that each district has a similar number of people. This is done to reflect changes in population. The U.S. Supreme Court requires that this be done fairly. Redistricting is also known as reapportionment. It is different from gerrymandering, which is when the boundaries are changed to give one political party an advantage.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of electoral districts to reflect changes in population. It is also known as reapportionment. The U.S. Supreme Court has mandated federal reapportionment, which is outlined in the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 2, Clause 3.

Examples: When a state's population changes, the number of representatives in the state legislature or the U.S. House of Representatives may need to be adjusted. For example, if a state's population grows, it may gain additional representatives, and the boundaries of the districts may need to be redrawn to ensure that each district has roughly the same number of people.

Another example is when a state loses population, it may lose representatives, and the boundaries of the districts may need to be redrawn to reflect the changes in population.

Redistricting is an important process because it can affect the outcome of elections. If the boundaries of a district are redrawn to include more voters from one political party, it can give that party an advantage in future elections. This is known as gerrymandering, which is different from redistricting.
