System Options—Street Maintenance

Note Options that appear dimmed are maintained by VR Systems.

Street Maintenance Method—Use this option to select your method for street maintenance, that is, maintenance of the street-segment records in the streets (Streetm) table. You will only see the options your county is licensed to use.

We recommend that you refrain from changing this option without first discussing the change with VR Systems.

1, Voter Focus—The streets table is maintained by county users via the facilities in STREETS AND PRECINCTS > Street Maintenance. This is the default setting.

2, GeoElections—The streets table is maintained using data imported from the county's GeoElections® system using the GeoElections GIS Interface provided by VR Systems.

3, Generic GIS Interface—The streets table is maintained using data imported from geographic information systems, such as Maptitude, Esri ArcGIS for Desktop, or similar GIS systems, using the Generic GIS Interface provided by VR Systems.

Redistricting will not move a voter across a Zip Code Boundary—This option is designed primarily for counties with multiple cities where the same zip code or street name is used by two or more mailing (USPS) cities. It prevents the Redistricting Update program from incorrectly moving a voter from one mailing city to another. (Note that the program will refrain from moving a voter only when it encounters a choice between two mailing cities with the same street address.) We recommend this option be turned on.

Cursor Stops in Address Dir Field—This option is useful for counties who normally use a street direction (N, NE, etc.) in residential addresses. It adds the Dir field to the stops made by the cursor when a user is tabbing through residence-address fields.

County Does not Use Voter Focus City Election—This option is selected and cannot be changed.

District Type Used for Cities—This option selects the district type your county uses for cities. The district type must be defined in VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Codes > District Types before the district type can appear in this list. If you select a value in this field, you must also select a value in District Type Used for Wards.

The Redistricting Update program inserts the appropriate city-district number into the City field for each street segment. (You can see this on the Street Segment Maintenance dialog.)

District Type Used for Wards—This option selects the district type your county uses for city wards. The district type must be defined in VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Codes > District Types before the district type can appear in this list.
