Description: The Election Precinct feature class interprets the location and describes the boundaries of all election precincts in Will County, Illinois (excluding the city of Aurora). A precinct is an administrative unit for the Will County Clerk Election staff to distribute election materials and resources, conduct elections, and to report election results. For purposes of conducting elections, the election entity divides itself into specific precincts. Each precinct has a specific polling place where its residents go to vote. Sometimes several precincts will use the same polling place. A 2004 survey by the United States Election Assistance Commission reported an average precinct size in the United States of approximately 1,100 registered voters. This feature class employs a variety of attribution to describe precincts in Will County. Notable attribution includes the precinct name and the name of the township within which the precinct is located. This feature class is current as of 2015.
