In the United States, for the elections of the House of Representatives a combination of redrawing and reallocation is used. Every 10 years on the first day, or within one week thereafter, of the first regular session of the eighty-second Congress and of each fifth Congress thereafter, the President sends a statement to the Congress which shows the number of persons in each State, excluding Indians who don’t pay taxes as determined by a census that is held every 10 years. This statement also shows the number of Representatives to which each State would be entitled under an apportionment of the then existing number of Representatives by the method of equal proportions, with the guarantee that each State receives at least one Member. After this process of reallocation of Members to each State, the States then redraw the constituencies within their State.
