Institutional determinants of redistricting in the United States of America

Summary/Abstract: The shape and the magnitude of electoral districts may have a significant influence on the election results. Therefore, this is important to take the problem of districting/redistricting into account when studying the consequences of electoral systems. Our aim is to examine institutional determinants of redistricting in a few selected U.S. states. In this paper, we seek to find answers to the following questions: What are the legal requirements for districting/redistricting in U.S. states? Which legal rules of redistricting help to prevent gerrymandering and malappor - tionment? What similarities (differences) exist between models of districting/redistricting in Poland and in the USA?
