Electoral Geography is the study of how geographical factors influence political elections and voting behavior. It examines the spatial distribution of voters, the design of electoral districts, and how these elements affect the outcomes of elections. This field analyzes patterns such as urban versus rural voting trends and the impact of demographic factors on electoral results.
Researchers in Electoral Geography often use tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to visualize and analyze data. They may explore concepts such as gerrymandering, where district boundaries are manipulated to favor a particular political party, or the role of socioeconomic status in shaping voting preferences.
