Redistricting should not discriminate against any citizen on the basis of sex.


Obligations

  • Equality Between Men and Women

Election Parts

  • Electoral System and Boundary Delimitation

Issues

  • Special Measures

Criteria

  • The state took steps to ensure de facto equality between men and women

Quotes

  • Equal suffrage also requires that every citizen's vote should have equal weight irrespective of distinctions such as race, color, gender, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property birth or other status. Demarcation of election district boundaries therefore may not be drawn in ways that divide minority communities and thus reduce their voting power.
