Boundary Delimitation Quiz

The Boundary Delimitation topic area discusses the administrative and cost implications of delimiting electoral districts for representation purposes and considers the social and political context in which delimitation takes place. It also covers the boundary setting process associated with voting areas (also called polling areas or election precincts) needed for the purposes of assigning voters to polling places. These boundaries need to be adjusted periodically due to spatial demographic shifts over time and thus remain relevant to even the most established democracies.
