Boundary Delimitation in the Elections

The term "boundary delimitation" is usually used to refer to the process of drawing electoral district boundaries. However, it can also be used to denote the process of drawing voting areas (also called polling areas, districts or election precincts) for the purposes of assigning voters to polling places. Occasionally, the term has been employed to describe the process of demarcating administrative boundaries such as state, county or municipality lines. Because the focus of this project is on election administration, the Boundary Delimitation section of the Administration and Cost of Elections (ACE) Project discusses only the delimitation of electoral districts and voting areas. Furthermore, because the delimitation of electoral districts is far more complicated and much more controversial than the delimitation of voting areas, the vast majority of this section will be devoted to the delimitation of electoral district boundaries.
