TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2012, Series Information File for the 2010 Census Voting District State-based (VTD) National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) Voting District State-based Shapefile 2012 publication 2012 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, Rhode Island is the only State that did not participate in Phase 2 (the Voting District Project) of the Redistricting Data Program and no VTDs exist for this State in the 2010 Census data products. Note that only Montana and Oregon do not have complete coverage of VTDs for the 2010 Census. In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles. notPlanned State or equivalent entity Polygon Voting District State Legislative District theme None U.S. State or Equivalent Entity place Governmental Units and Administrative and Statistical Boundaries Theme National Geospatial Data Asset NGDA theme NGDA Portfolio Themes 2010-02-01 revision http://www.fgdc.gov/initiatives/resources/2013-2-1-ngda-data-themes-fgdc-sc-revised.pdf otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None Use Constraints:The TIGER/Line Shapefile products are not copyrighted however TIGER/Line and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the U.S. Census Bureau.
