Definition
Electoral segregation refers to the practice of manipulating electoral districts in order to concentrate certain groups of voters based on factors such as race, ethnicity, or political affiliation. This can be done to increase the political power of a particular group or to disadvantage certain communities. Electoral segregation can result in unfair and unrepresentative election outcomes, leading to a lack of diversity and inclusivity in government. It is considered a form of gerrymandering and is often viewed as a barrier to fair and equitable elections.
