Automation of Arkansas' Legislative District Boundaries and Geographic Information System Needs Assessment for the Secretary of States Office
The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) has been requested by the Secretary of State's office to develop a plan for applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies to legislative district mapping procedures. The Secretary of State's office is responsible for maintaining Arkansas' House and Senate boundaries as well as distributing this information to the State's 75 county clerks. Traditionally this task has been completed manually, and was rather time consuming. CAST has been tasked to develop a digital methodology for creating and updating this information and transfer that technical methodology to the Secretary of State's existing staff. The digital data and its development methodologies are just the first step in an on-going cooperative effort between CAST and the Secretary of State's Office. These digital map products will serve as the base maps for statewide redistricting of the House and Senate boundaries in year 2001. They will also provide the groundwork for the long range goals of implementation of Geographic Information Systems technologies within the Secretary of State's office.
All district boundary questions should be directed to the Secretary of State's office. These maps are updated often, and at times, may not be up to the minute with the "Official Maps". Please contact David Geer (501) 682-1010 at the Secretary of State's Office if you have questions concerning the accuracy or completeness of any of these Senate or District maps.
