Actual Enumeration is a Constitutional requirement established by the Supreme Court in 1960 which requires House districts in a state to contain roughly the same number of people, so that each person's vote will be approximately equal. When a census occurs, every state "redistricts" in order to maintain an equal number of citizens between districts.
