1. reapportionment

   Reapportionment is the process of redistributing or changing the allocation of legislative seats, particularly in a political or administrative entity, based on changes in population as reflected in census data. This ensures each representative in a legislative body represents approximately the same number of constituents. It commonly occurs for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives where the distribution of seats is adjusted to accommodate population shifts and growth.
