Malapportionment. Malapportionment is the creation of electoral districts with divergent ratios of voters to representatives. For example, if one single-member district has 10,000 voters and another has 100,000 voters, voters in the former district have ten times the influence, per person, over the governing body.
How often does the apportionment occur?
Apportionment refers to the way the number of Representatives for each state is determined every 10 years, as required by the Constitution, following a national census. The question of apportionment has been a concern of Congress for much of our history.
How does reapportionment happen?
Reapportionments normally occur following each decennial census, though the law that governs the total number of representatives and the method of apportionment to be carried into force at that time are enacted prior to the census.
