Reapportionment
Reapportionment is the reallocation of seats in a legislature to the regions from which legislators are elected, following changes in population.

Reapportionment of the United States House of Representatives (the lower house of the U.S. Congress) occurs every year ending in "1", the year after the U.S. Census Bureau performs the decennial census mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Once seats have been reapportioned to the various states, each state creates districts of approximately equal population, a process called redistricting.
