The control of the apportionment and redistricting process varies depending on the country and sometimes within different levels of government.

Apportionment reflects the voice of the American people by ensuring that representation in Congress corresponds to the population distribution across states. Through the decennial census, population changes are measured, allowing for adjustments in congressional seats to reflect demographic shifts. This process aims to provide equitable representation, ensuring that areas with growing populations receive a voice proportional to their size, while less populated areas are adjusted accordingly. Ultimately, apportionment helps maintain the principle of "one person, one vote" in the legislative process.
