Political redistricting by computer
Communications of the ACM, 1972The problems of political redistricting are considered and a computer method for redistricting is presented. Criteria for acceptable redistricting are discussed, including population equality, compactness, contiguity, and preservation of natural and/or political boundaries. Only nonpartisan criteria are considered.

Automated Congressional Redistricting
Journal of Experimental Algorithmics, 2019Every 10 years, when states are forced to redraw their congressional districts, the process is intensely partisan, and the outcome is rarely fair and democratic. In the past few decades, the growing capabilities of computers have offered the promise of objective, computerized redistricting. Unfortunately, the redistricting problem can be shown to be NP-

Abstract This article shows how districting practices in the US differ from those in other countries. It specifically addresses the following questions: ‘Who gets to make decisions about redistricting?’; ‘What are the types of criteria by which redistricting plans might be evaluated?’; and ‘Who benefits from a given plan?’ It is thought ...

Redistricting is the redrawing of the boundaries of legislative districts for electoral purposes in such a way that Federal or state requirements are fulfilled. In 2015 the National Electoral Institute of Mexico carried out the redistricting process of 15 states using a nonlinear programming model where population equality and compactness were ...

The design of electoral zones is a complex problem in which democracy of the electoral processes is promoted by some constraints such as population balance, contiguity and compactness. In fact, the computational complexity of zone design problems has been shown to be NP-Hard. This paper propose the use of a new measure of compactness, which uses a mesh

Adventures in Redistricting: A Look at the California Redistricting Commission
Election Law Journal: Rules, Politics, and Policy, 2012Abstract California's Voters FIRST Act created the Citizens Redistricting Commission and with it provided a unique opportunity to observe the implementation of one of the most challenging political processes: the creation of electoral districts by a body of non-elected voters.

Abstract This chapter applies the alignment framework to redistricting. In a system of single-member districts, there may be no electoral policy with as much aligning—and misaligning—potential as the configuration of district boundaries. District maps determine how votes are aggregated and then converted into legislative seats.
