In Arizona, legislative district boundaries are redrawn every ten years, following the decennial U.S. Census. This process is overseen by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, which is responsible for ensuring fair representation and compliance with legal requirements. The redistricting process typically occurs in the year following the Census, resulting in new district maps that take effect for the next election cycle.

Gerrymandering occurs when a congressional district's boundaries are redrawn to give one party a clear advantage over another. In the US, redistricting occurs after the results of the Census are tabulated. Redistricting is currently (2012) occurring in the US. Because in most states a state's legislature gets to decide on the redistricting plan, the party currently in power often attempts to give themselves an advantage in future elections by gerrymandering.
Congressional district boundaries in Tennessee, like in many other states, change mainly due to population shifts. The boundaries are redrawn every ten years after the decennial census to ensure that each district has roughly the same number of residents. Additionally, political factors and partisan considerations can also influence the process of redistricting in Tennessee, as in other states.
An Illinois legislative district is a designated geographic area represented by a member of the Illinois General Assembly, which includes the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Senate. These districts are drawn to ensure equal representation in the state's legislature, with the House districts typically containing around 108,000 residents and Senate districts covering approximately twice that population. The boundaries of these districts are redrawn every ten years following the census to reflect changes in population and demographics.
Redistricting in the US is primarily determined by state legislatures, who are responsible for drawing new district boundaries after each census. Some states have created independent commissions to handle redistricting in order to reduce partisan influence. Federal law also requires that district boundaries must be redrawn every ten years based on the new census data.
Once every 10 years
Boundary lines for a district are typically redrawn after a census to account for changes in population and ensure equitable representation. This process, known as redistricting, aims to balance the number of residents in each district to uphold democratic principles and prevent gerrymandering. Redistricting often occurs every ten years following the release of census data.
Every 10 years a census is done and due to the results the district lines are redrawn by members of the state legislature. Many times they try to shape the new districts to be primarily one political party. This is called gerrymandering which is illegal, but still done.
