Answer 3

Thank you so much!! You have no idea how much I appreciate your help!

Answer 4

I have a question regarding the answer. Is it geographical area because you can't adjust the population size?

Answer 5

The geographic area is adjusted to reflect population size. The electoral district is supposed to be approximately the same population as all other electoral districts. So, a rural area may be much larger in geographical size than a more densely populated urban area, but both have roughly the same population.

Answer 6

Thanks so much!!!!

Answer 7

The correct answer is A) country, state and/or county boundaries. Redistricting refers to the process of redrawing the boundaries of electoral districts within a state or country in order to maintain roughly equal population representation. The purpose of redistricting is to ensure that each district has roughly the same number of residents, so that each voter's voice carries equal weight. This process typically occurs after each census, when population shifts may require adjusting district boundaries to account for changes in population size and distribution.
