The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Voting district is the generic name for geographic entities such as precincts, wards, and election districts established by State governments for the purpose of conducting elections. States participating in the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program as part of Public Law 94-171 (1975) provided the Census Bureau with boundaries, codes, and names for their VTDs. Each VTD is identified by a 1- to 6-character alphanumeric census code that is unique within county. For the 2010 Census, Kentucky and Rhode Island are the only States that did not provide voting district boundaries as part of Phase 2 (the Voting District Project) of the Redistricting Data Program and no VTDs exist for these States in the 2020 Census data products. Note that only Montana and Oregon do not have complete coverage of VTDs for the 2020 Census.

Boundaries of Orleans Parish voting precincts as defined by the New Orleans City Charter. New Orleans voting precincts are drawn according to the New Orleans Home Rule Charter as required by the State of Louisiana. A precinct is defined in the state of Louisiana's election code as the smallest political unit of a ward having defined geographical boundaries. Precinct boundaries were updated September 25, 2015, in order to satisfy population changes discovered by the Orleans Registrar of Voters Office. The changes have been made by the City of New Orleans and verified by the Louisiana Secretary of State's Office. Information about voter registation can be found here: https://www.sos.la.gov/ElectionsAndVoting/Pages/RegistrationStatisticsParish.aspx
State Law
RS 18:532. Establishment of precincts
A. Subject to the provisions of R.S. 18:532.1 and 1903, the governing authority of each parish shall establish precincts, define the territorial limits for which each precinct is established, prescribe their boundaries, and designate the precincts. The governing authority of each parish shall by ordinance adopt the establishment and boundaries of each precinct in accordance with the timetable as set forth herein and in accordance with R.S. 18:532.1.
B.(1)(a) Each precinct shall be a contiguous, compact area having clearly defined and clearly observable boundaries coinciding with visible features readily distinguishable on the ground and approved extensions of such features, such as designated highways, roads, streets, rivers, or canals, and depicted on United States Bureau of the Census base maps for the next federal decennial census, except where the precinct boundary is coterminous with the boundary of a parish or an incorporated place when the boundaries of a single precinct contain the entire geographic area of the incorporated place. Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph, on and after July 1, 1997, any precinct boundary which does not coincide with a visible feature shall be changed by the parish governing authority to coincide with a visible feature in accordance with R.S. 18:532.1.
(b) For the purposes of this Paragraph, the term "approved extension" shall mean an extension of one visible feature to another visible feature which has been approved by the secretary of the Senate and the clerk of the House of Representatives or their designees and which is or which will be a census tabulation boundary.
(2) No precinct shall be wholly contained within the territorial boundaries of another precinct, except that a precinct which contains the entire geographical area of an incorporated place and in which the total number of registered voters at the last general election was less than three hundred may be so contained.
(3) No precinct shall contain more than two thousand two hundred registered voters within its geographic boundaries. Within thirty days after the completion of each canvass, the registrar of voters of each parish shall notify the parish governing authority of every precinct in the parish which contains more than two thousand two hundred registered voters within its geographic boundaries. Within sixty days of such notification, the parish governing authority shall divide such precincts by a visible feature in accordance with R.S. 18:532.1.
(4)(a) No precinct shall contain less than three hundred registered voters within its geographical boundaries, except:
(i) When necessary to make it more convenient for voters in a geographically isolated and unincorporated area to vote. A voter in a geographically isolated and unincorporated area shall mean a voter whose residence is outside an incorporated place and who would have to travel by roadway more than ten miles or cross a public ferry to a polling place to vote if the precinct were not established.
(ii) When the precinct contains the entire geographical area of an incorporated place.
(iii) When the precinct may not be merged with any adjacent precinct due to voting district boundaries, provided that such a precinct has a consolidated polling place with an adjacent precinct and the number of commissioners for the polling place has been reduced in accordance with R.S. 18:425.1 and 1286.1.
(b)(i) No precinct shall be established as authorized in this Paragraph unless it is in compliance with the provisions of R.S. 18:532.1(C) and unless the parish governing authority has submitted documentation to the Department of State that the precinct meets one of the criteria in this Paragraph and the parish governing authority has received written approval for the establishment of the precinct from the secretary of state. However, a precinct may contain less than three hundred registered voters if the parish governing authority is responsible for all election expenses incurred in the precinct as provided in R.S. 18:1400.7.
(ii) In addition to the authority in Item (i) of this Subparagraph, the secretary of state may permit the establishment of precincts with less than three hundred registered voters under extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances.
(c) Within thirty days after the completion of each canvass, beginning with the 1996 canvass, the registrar of voters of each parish shall notify the parish governing authority of every precinct in the parish which contains fewer than three hundred registered voters within its geographic boundaries. Within sixty days after such notification, the parish governing authority shall merge such precincts with other precincts, unless the approval of the Department of State has been granted as provided in this Paragraph.
(5) The provisions of Paragraph (4) of this Subsection shall not be effective from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2013.
C. Each parish governing authority shall provide and maintain at all times a suitable map showing the current geographical boundaries with designation of precincts and a word description of the precinct geographical boundaries. Each parish governing authority shall send a copy of each map, with description attached, to the registrar of voters and the secretary of state. The map may be composed of one or more sheets but each sheet shall not exceed three feet by four feet. The map shall include all existing roads, streets, railroad tracks, and drainage features but shall not include underground utility lines, land use and zoning symbols or shadings, symbols for vegetation cover, topographic contour lines, and similar items that obscure the basic street pattern and names. All features, names, titles, and symbols on the map shall be clearly shown and legible. The map sheet of the entire parish shall be on a scale of one inch equals one mile to one inch equals two miles. Map sheets of each incorporated place within the parish shall be on a scale of one inch equals eight hundred feet to one inch equals sixteen hundred feet. Each map sheet shall indicate the date of the base map or the date of last revision. Wherever the boundaries of a precinct or incorporated place are coterminous, they shall be clearly indicated as such.
D. The parish governing authority shall also furnish, a map clearly indicating the boundaries of each parish governing authority district, school board district, special election district, representative district, and senate district.
E.(1) In complying with the provisions of this Section for the establishment of precincts and the prescription of their boundaries, each parish governing authority and registrar of voters shall coordinate with the secretary of the Senate and the clerk of the House of Representatives, or their designees, pursuant to their authority to submit a plan for census data for reapportionment under the provisions of Chapter 13 of this Title and shall adopt or adjust precinct boundaries as may be necessary to comply with this Section.
(2) The proposed precinct boundaries submitted to the United States Bureau of the Census by a parish through the secretary of the Senate and the clerk of the House of Representatives or their designees, and approved by the Bureau of the Census as block boundaries for each federal decennial census, shall be the precinct boundaries for the parish for reapportionment purposes following each federal decennial census.

Statewide feature class of 2020 General Voting Tabulation Districts (VTDs) on 2020 Census geography. VTDs are voting precincts represented using 2020 Census TIGER geography. Some voting precinct boundaries do not use census geography, so the boundary of a VTD may differ from the actual corresponding voting precinct's boundary. The VTDs closely match the 9,014 precincts in effect for the 2020 General Election. On the occasion that a precinct is in two non-contiguous pieces, the VTD is suffixed. For example, if precinct 0001 is two non-contiguous areas, the corresponding VTDs would be VTD 0001A and VTD 0001B. If a voting precinct cannot be represented using census geography, it is consolidated into an adjacent precinct's corresponding VTD. There are 9,157 VTDs in the 2020 General Election VTDs feature class.
Note: The 2020 General Election VTDs feature class is not the same as the Voting Districts in the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line Shapefile and do not correspond with the population data reported for the Voting Districts in the Census Bureau's 2020 Census State Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File.
The 119th Congressional Districts dataset reflects boundaries from January 03, 2025 from the United States Census Bureau (USCB), and the attributes are updated every Sunday from the United States House of Representatives and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Information for each member of Congress is appended to the Census Congressional District shapefile using information from the Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives' website https://clerk.house.gov/xml/lists/MemberData.xml and its corresponding XML file. Congressional districts are the 435 areas from which people are elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. This dataset also includes 9 geographies for non-voting at large delegate districts, resident commissioner districts, and congressional districts that are not defined. After the apportionment of congressional seats among the states based on census population counts, each state is responsible for establishing congressional districts for the purpose of electing representatives. Each congressional district is to be as equal in population to all other congressional districts in a state as practicable. The 119th Congress is seated from January 3, 2025 through January 3, 2027. In Connecticut, Illinois, and New Hampshire, the Redistricting Data Program (RDP) participant did not define the CDs to cover all of the state or state equivalent area. In these areas with no CDs defined, the code "ZZ" has been assigned, which is treated as a single CD for purposes of data presentation. The TIGER/Line shapefiles for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) each contain a single record for the non-voting delegate district in these areas. The boundaries of all other congressional districts reflect information provided to the Census Bureau by the states by May 31, 2024.

A voting district is a geographical area which is represented by a seat or numerous seats in a legislative body. These boundaries are created by State and local governments for the purpose of administering elections. These boundaries are updated by the Indiana General Assembly by aggregating local data annually, and are often used to build Congress and General Assembly districts during the redistricting process.This dataset contains attributes for the district's county FIPS code, the district name, a full FIPS ID, and what US Congress, General Assembly House, and General Assembly Senate district each polygon resides in. This data is made available by the Indiana General Assembly on an annual basis.
These are the current final election precincts for the City of Detroit, and are the valid boundaries for the 2024 Election cycle. Updated to reflect multiple court orders and changes to state senate boundaries Q1 2024.Check your precinct and polling location here: https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/indexThe City of Detroit will not guarantee this layer remains active once new election boundaries go into affect to reflect the upcoming City Council Districts effective in 2025. It is anticipated they will be done next year. As such we will only guarantee these boundaries reflect this years elections, and nothing else.Please note that these should also be the final hand digitized election precincts before we change our election precinct designation methodology.Data provided by the City of Detroit Department of Elections.Note: This data is also provided to the State of Michigan Bureau of Elections who make it available in a similar format through the Michigan Open Data Portal here: https://gis-michigan.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/Michigan::2024-voting-precincts/about. The State shapefile might enable population and other analyses given its approach to precinct boundary development. However, the local file also contains potentially important context as well.
The 2020 cartographic boundary shapefiles are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. Voting district is the generic name for geographic entities such as precincts, wards, and election districts established by State governments for the purpose of conducting elections. States participating in the 2020 Census Redistricting Data Program as part of Public Law 94-171 (1975) provided the Census Bureau with boundaries, codes, and names for their VTDs. Each VTD is identified by a 1- to 6-character alphanumeric census code that is unique within county.

When the districts running on a particular election ballot are identical for 2-6 adjacent regular precincts, California Election Code 12241 allows for those precincts to be consolidated. In Sacramento County it is policy that the consolidated precinct will bear the lowest precinct number of the original regular precincts. Through the 2016 elections, consolidated precincts with 250 or more registered voters were assigned a polling place and designated "Polling Place" precincts. Consolidated precincts with less than 250 registered voters were designated "Mail Ballot" precincts. For every Polling Place Precinct there also existed a coextensive "Vote by Mail" precinct for the registered voters of that precinct who voted by mail. Since the 2018 elections, there is no longer a distinction between "Polling Place" precincts and "Mail Ballot" precincts. All Consolidated Precincts also have a corresponding and coextensive "Vote by Mail" precinct. Because the combination of contests on ballot is unique to a particular election, the set of consolidated precincts is unique to that particular election.Sacramento County Voter Registration and Elections
