Australian Multi-Member Multi-Constituency Elections

[IH Farrow]

Do you use the word "gerrymander" to describe both intentional

group of people, would you call it a gerrymander?

I used the term 'gerrymander' to describe intentional rigging of electoral boundaries.  The downsides of single member electorates in 'unintentional disadvantage' are obvious.
