The purpose of this project is to create a database with shapefiles of Virginia voting precinct boundaries for all primary and general elections from 2009-2020.
Voting district (VTD) shapefiles from the US Census Bureau were used as a starting point to create these maps. Data was then collected for all precinct changes between each election to make a shapefile for every year. This information was obtained from county and city GIS data and Codes of Ordinances, precinct and district-level voter registration statistics, and election results and turnout data from the Virginia Department of Elections.
All maps were created using QGIS.
Encoding: EPSG 4326.
Please see the Virginia Voting Precincts Wiki for more information and a full list of sources.
