Introduction

A Voting District, also commonly called an electoral precinct, is the smallest geographic unit for elections. It is used to organize voters into manageable groups and is typically assigned a specific polling place where residents go to cast their ballots. Multiple smaller voting districts are grouped together to make up a single, larger legislative district, such as an Alabama House District, an Alabama Senate District, or an Alabama Congressional District. Voting districts respect county boundaries.

The map and table below give geographic data on the 1837 voting districts in Alabama. The name of the voting district is the polling place. The land and water areas are given in square miles.
