Gerrymandering (hileli seçim bölgesi taksimatı) bir siyasi partinin oylarını arttırmak ve seçimi kazanmak, diğer taraftan rakip siyasi partinin oy sayı-larını azaltmak gayesiyle seçim çevresini hileli bir şekilde yeniden dizayn etmeye yönelik politik manipülasyon girişimidir. Burada bir siyasi parti ya da adayın lehine seçim bölgesi sınırlarının manipüle edilmesi sözkonusu-dur. Bu çalışmada hileli seçim bölgesi taksimatı kavramının ne anlama geldiği, kavramın ortaya çıkış hikâyesi, türleri, etki ve sonuçları özet ola-rak incelenmektedir. İlave olarak hileli seçim bölgesi taksimatı işleyişine dair bazı basit örnekler sunulmaktadır.
