The Boundary Delimitation topic area was written by Dr. Lisa Handley and further updated by Dr. Handley under the supervision of IFES from 2005-2006 thanks to the generous financial support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Lisa has more than fifteen years of experience in the area of electoral boundary delimitation (redistricting), both as a practitioner and academic. She is a partner at Frontier International Electoral Consulting, LLC, a company with expertise in boundary delimitation, voting analyses and political technology. She has advised numerous jurisdictions and other clients on redistricting and voting rights issues and has served as an expert in dozens of redistricting and voting rights court cases.
Additional updates in 2012 were undertaken by Herschell Sax who was Elections Canada’s subject matter expert for boundary delimitation from 1993 to his retirement in 2011. During this period, he met with all foreign delegations to Elections Canada and represented Canada abroad on the subject of redistribution.
