reapportions
Allocates shares differently
Reapportions means distributes or allocates again, typically in different proportions than before.
The term appears most often in political contexts, where legislative seats are reapportioned among districts after a census to reflect population changes: The state reapportions its congressional seats every ten years.
More broadly, anything divided among parties can be reapportioned: The committee reapportions funding based on new priorities.
