A "riding" is a term used in some countries, particularly in Canada, to refer to an electoral district or constituency. It is a designated area from which a representative is elected to a legislative body, such as the House of Commons. Each riding has a specific population and geographical boundaries, ensuring that citizens have a voice in government. In Canada, the term is often associated with the Canadian Parliament, where each riding elects a Member of Parliament (MP). The number of ridings can change based on population shifts and is reviewed during a process called redistribution. This ensures fair representation for all citizens across the country.
