Unit of analysis: RR precincts are derived from consolidated registration precincts and are a geographic unit constructed for statistical merging purposes by the Statewide Database. Data source: Statewide Database - University of California, Berkeley Technical documentation: http://statewidedatabase.org/d10/Creating%20CA%20Official%20Redistricting%20Database.pdf Codebook: http://statewidedatabase.org/info/metadata/SOR_codebook.html County records unavailable at time of file creation: none Date last modified: Mon,02/Aug/2021 Previous versions: 08/23/2018, 01/29/2018 Wed,28/Jul/2021 Wed,21/Oct/2020 Tue,20/Oct/2020 Fri,18/Oct/2019 Fri,18/Oct/2019 02/19/2019 Data user notes: Note 1. There are discrepancies in the reported totals in the Statewide Database vote method files for the absentee, mail-ballot and poll voters. The reporting of the forced vote-by-mail ballot voters and vote-by-mail ballots cast by choice by absentee voters varies by county and election. Some counties are able to report the forced vote-by-mail ballots separately from the vote-by-mail ballots cast by absentee voters. Other counties are not able to do this and report all of their vote-by-mail ballots as one without distinguishing between forced and absentee vote-by-mail voters; or they report their forced vote-by-mail voters as precinct voters resulting in these voters being reported in the Statewide Database's poll voters file instead of the absentees or mail-ballot files. Errata 1.
