Abstract: Abstract A fixed or multi-member district has the advantage of not needing to be periodically redrawn like a single-member district. This advantage, however, does not avoid the task of accommodating demographic changes. As the Code of Good Practice states, “With multi-member constituencies, seats should be redistributed preferably without redefining constituency boundaries, which should, where possible, coincide with administrative boundaries.”
