Voting Polls

This geospatial dataset represents the locations of voting polls in Fulton County, Georgia. A voting poll, also known as a polling place or polling station, is a designated location for eligible citizens to cast their votes in political elections. Fulton County is divided into approximately 400 voter precincts. Each precinct has a poll to which voters who reside within the precinct are assigned for the purpose of casting their votes. A poll is generally located in its associated precinct, although for precincts in which there is no appropriate facility to serve as a polling place, the poll may lie in a neighboring precinct. Poll locations generally stay the same from election to election, although as precincts are reconfigured, new polling locations are created to serve newly formed precincts. The Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections is responsible for the establishment of voting polls.
