Excerpt
Excerpt: ?Voting districts? is the generic name for areas, such as precincts and wards, established by state and local governments for purposes of elections. States participating in the Census 2000 Redistricting Data Program provided the Census Bureau with boundaries, codes, and (optionally) names, for their voting districts. As an option in the Census 2000 Redistricting Data Program (P.L. 94-171), participating states receive census data for their state legislative districts. These data are included for both the upper and lower chambers. (Nebraska has a unicameral legislature; their legislature is treated as an upper level chamber for data presentation on this file.) Not all states participated in the program. See Appendix A, Geographic Definitions for a more detailed description of the legislative district definition/coding scheme and other census geography terms.
