Nesting (voting districts)

Example of nested districts in the Wyoming Legislature. The city of Rock Springs is split into northern and southern state house districts, but they are both combined into a single state senate district.

Nesting is the delimitation of voting districts for one elected body in order to define the voting districts for another body.[1]

The major concerns of nesting are that it may impede the creation of majority-minority districts, and that it may cause cities or other communities of interest to be split into different voting districts and therefore dilute their votes.
