    Hey US, here’s an idea. Instead of having elected representatives sign off on electoral districts, you can instead pass a law to create electoral commissions who’s job it is, and define in the law how often redistricting should take place, what methods should be used, etc, etc.

    The officials at the electoral Commission are bound by the law you set out (and presumably the extremely harsh punishments for not following the law).

    This is where you define electoral boundry changes. Not via bespoke legislation where it gets gerrymandered.

    A lot of other countries have figured this out, just sayin’.
