Delimitation plays a crucial role in upholding democracy and adapting to the evolving demographics of the country. It is vital for ensuring fair representation in elections, addressing key issues such as population shifts, equal voting power, gerrymandering, and the balance of representation between urban and rural areas. Since independence, India has conducted four delimitation exercises based on census data to maintain a balanced and representative democratic system. These exercises involve redrawing the boundaries of electoral constituencies to reflect demographic changes, ensuring that each vote carries equal weight and minimizing the risk of political manipulation. |
