Polling Place Categories

Create New Category

Opens the Polling Place Category dialog that allows you to create a category or a code associated with an existing category. See Create and Assign Polling Place Category Codes for more information.

Delete Code or Category

Lets you delete the highlighted category code or, if the highlighted category has only one code, deletes the category and the code. Deleting a category code removes it from any polling places it was assigned to. To delete a category and all its associated codes, you must delete each category code individually.

Change Code Description

Opens the Polling Place Category dialog for the highlighted category and code. You can then change the Description field for the code.

To change a category name, you must create a new category with the desired name and create the codes in that category. Then, delete the codes for the old category. Finally, assign the new codes to any polling places where the old codes were assigned.

To mark a category code as unused, highlight the code, click Change Code Description, and then, on the Polling Place Category dialog, select Unused.
