district boundaries
Area division lines
District boundaries are the official lines that mark where one administrative area ends and another begins, whether for school districts, voting precincts, congressional seats, or other governmental units.
These boundaries determine which services residents receive, which elections they vote in, and which representatives speak for them.
The city council voted to redraw district boundaries after the census.
Disputes over district boundaries often center on accusations of gerrymandering or concerns about fair representation.
