Precinct Maintenance
To access: STREETS & PRECINCTS > Precinct Maintenance > {precinct}
On this dialog, you maintain a precinct's district assignments, any precinct splits and their district assignments, and other precinct-related tasks.
If a precinct has precinct splits, they are listed in the Precinct Splits pane. The precinct is also listed there, but it will not necessarily appear at the top of the list; it depends on the way the precinct and splits are numbered.
Fields and Controls on this Dialog
Normal Polling Place |
This display-only field shows the polling place where voters in the precinct normally vote. When you create a new precinct, you must select a polling place for the precinct. You can Change a Precinct's Normal Polling Place or Change the Polling Place for a Single Election. |
Election Board Combined With (Precinct)
Change Same Board Precinct
Delete Same Board |
The
board precinct feature lets you share the election board When a precinct shares the election board of a providing precinct, you will see Election Board Combined with (Precinct) and the number of the providing precinct. On the record for the providing precinct, you will see Provides board for and the number of the sharing precinct. The board-sharing is maintained (that is, set, changed or deleted) in the maintenance record of the sharing precinct. If the two precincts have different normal polling places, doing a Set Same Board Precinct operation automatically changes the normal polling place of the sharing precinct to the normal polling place of the providing precinct. You will see a message to this effect when you set up the share. If the polling place of the providing precinct is temporarily changed for an election, the polling place of the sharing precinct is automatically changed to the same temporary polling place for the same election. The Delete Same Board button is present on the sharing precinct's maintenance record, allowing you to remove the sharing of an election board. |
Election Center |
Optional. Select the support warehouse or other election center associated with the precinct. |
Precinct Splits |
This pane lists the precinct and any precinct splits, showing the five main district assignments for each (Florida Senate, U.S. Congress, Florida House, County Commission, and School Board). To see assignments for all additional districts in the county including city districts, click Districts to open the District and City Assignment dialog. |

New Split like this one |
Lets you create a precinct split with district assignments that are similar to the highlighted precinct or precinct split. This saves you from having to select all district assignments for the new precinct split. You simply change the ones that are different for the new split. |
