Q: Who is my representative; where can I find information about the legislative
district that I live in?
A: Representatives, senators, and members of congress can be
found in Who
Represents Me? Enter your address and the member's contact information will
display.
Q: Where can I find electronic map files; where do I find historical election
data?
A: Electronic map files are provided as ArcView shapefiles of
districts (.shp), as ArcInfo coverages (.e00), and as files relating blocks
or zip codes to districts (.csv). A shapefile stores attribute information for
the spatial features in a data set. Data in .e00 is an ArcInfo interchange file
format, which is a simple ASCII file that can be opened and viewed using any
common text editor. Electronic map files can be downloaded from our redistricting
FTP site. Map files are located in the GIS folder, and election data are
located in the PAR folder.
