voting district map

Precinct boundary chart

A voting district map shows the geographic boundaries that divide a region into electoral districts, determining which voters cast ballots for which representatives.

These maps become contentious when redrawn to favor particular parties or candidates—a practice called gerrymandering: The new voting district map packed opposition voters into fewer districts.
