I'd heard the term before but never looked into it – it was useful to have something to prompt me (partially because this article doesn't even mention what it is). It's when the government manipulates electorates to increase their chances of being re-elected. As someone in the UK this is something I've wondered about a lot over the last year.
If you don't follow UK politics, we have a government that was elected with 51% of the seats on 36.9% of the votes.
I found this article which explains some of the mechanisms used to manipulate the outcome of these elections.
