reapportionment
This term carries a formal, administrative tone and is most frequently encountered in legal, political, or corporate governance contexts. It implies a deliberate, systemic change to an existing distribution rather than a first-time allocation. While "redistribution" is a broader synonym, "reapportionment" specifically suggests a recalculation based on a new set of proportions or a revised formula.
In a political context, the word is heavily associated with the technical process of adjusting electoral boundaries to ensure equal representation. This usage is highly specialized and typically refers to the official legislative action following a census, distinguishing it from "gerrymandering," which implies a biased or unfair manipulation of those same boundaries.
