District

Answer:

WARD

Hint:

Think of a small political division often used in cities for elections or representation.

Explanation:

"District" is a straightforward clue where the answer is a synonym—"ward" means a small administrative area, like a city district or electoral division. It’s also used in hospitals (as in a "hospital ward"), but here the focus is on its political or geographic meaning. No wordplay or tricks, just a direct match between clue and answer.
