Category: Political Data Type: Polygon GIS data Stewards: UGRC & Lieutenant Governor's Office

Voting precincts determine a voter's ballot composition and polling location based on the boundaries of all political districts covering their address (U.S Congress, State House and Senate, state school board, municipal districts, special districts, etc) in conjunction with a legislatively-mandated maximum limit of voters per precinct.

This dataset drives many of the State's voter information pages and lookups.

A closer look

Vista Ballot Areas are voting precincts for all 29 counties in Utah. Precincts boundaries are submitted by County Clerk offices. Where precincts are split into formal subprecincts, only the subprecincts are included in this dataset. A 'Dissolve' operation on the PRECINCTID field will produce precinct polygons without subprecinct lines. Updates are done to the precincts periodically, corresponding with Annexations and city/town boundary changes.

VISTAID
An 11 character field that contains the precinct ID and optional subprecinct ID (separated by a colon).
PRECINCTID
The precinct component of VISTAID.
SUBPRECINCTID
The subprecinct component, where applicable, of VISTAID.
VERSIONNBR
An optional version reference name assigned by the county.
EFFECTIVEDATE
The date the precinct boundary took effect. A date of 1/1/2011 is the default effective date.
RcvdDate
Indicate the date the precinct boundary was sent from the county to the UGRC. Updates will reflect the new city/town boundaries due to annexations.
