Voting districts are specific geographic areas where voters reside and participate in elections. Each district elects representatives to local, state, or national offices, ensuring that the interests of the residents are represented in government. The boundaries of these districts can vary in size and shape, depending on population density and other factors.
To create fair representation, voting districts are often redrawn every ten years after the U.S. Census. This process, known as redistricting, aims to reflect changes in population and demographics. However, it can sometimes lead to controversies, such as gerrymandering, where district boundaries are manipulated to favor a particular political party.
