redividing
Parceling out anew
Redividing is dividing again or anew.
Something already split into parts gets split differently: The committee is redividing the budget among departments.
The term appears in political contexts when electoral boundaries are redrawn: Critics accused the legislature of redividing districts to favor incumbents.
