Boundary Commissions
Boundary Commissions are independent bodies responsible for reviewing and recommending changes to electoral boundaries. Their main goal is to ensure fair representation in legislative bodies, such as Parliament or state assemblies, by adjusting the number of voters in each electoral district. This process helps maintain equal voting power among citizens.
These commissions typically operate in response to population changes, ensuring that districts reflect current demographics. They gather public input and conduct consultations before finalizing their recommendations. The adjustments made by Boundary Commissions can significantly impact political representation and the outcomes of elections.
