Answer: Reapportionment is the division of congressional districts among states. Redistricting is actual division of districts within a state. These processes are done every 10 years because since number of people living in a state goes up, the state may get more seats, so occasionally the U.S House seats must be redivided.

2. The main goal of redistricting is to equalize district populations by creating equal districts so that each congressional and state representative represents the same number of people, and voters have the same opportunity to participate in the democratic process

Reapportionment occurs when a state is assigned a particular number of seats in the House of Representatives. The number of seats that they get depends on the population of the state. On the other hand, redistricting occurs when the state is divided into districts according to the number of seats a state has. Districts should contain roughly the same number of voters. The reason why these processes have to be repeated every ten years is because of population changes, including moves, births and deaths.

The goal of this process is to be able to hold elections in the most legitimate and efficient way possible. Each district is able to chose a representative, and because of this, it is very important to have districts that represent the interests of the people of the state, and which are not manipulated in illegitimate ways. This also allows voters to be represented by the candidate of their choice.
