constituency relations
Definition
- When legislators are elected from specific geographic districts, significant resources are typically devoted to constituency relations—activity characterized by interaction between elected legislators and individual citizens or small groups of citizens. The nature of such interactions ranges from impersonal contact, mediated by legislative staff or conducted by correspondence, to direct encounters between representative and constituents.
