Reportingunit

Definition

Used in response messages. RequestSuccess and VoterRecord include this class so as to provide a list of geopolitical geography associated with the voter’s registration, e.g., the voter’s precinct, polling place, districts, etc. VoterParticipation optionally includes this class to specify the polling place used by the voter. The Type attribute uses the ReportingUnitType enumeration to specify the type of geopolitical geography being defined. If the reporting unit type is not listed in enumeration ReportingUnitType, use other and include the reporting unit type (that is not listed in the enumeration) in OtherType. The IsDistricted boolean is not strictly necessary, as it is possible to identify districts by their Type attribute. However, if the type of district is not listed in the ReportingUnitType enumeration and therefore OtherType is used, then IsDistricted is necessary. The IsDistricted boolean can also be used to signify that a ReportingUnit defined as a jurisdiction, e.g., a county, is also used as a district for, e.g., county-wide contests. Attribute Multiplicity Type Attribute Description {ExternalIdentifier} 0.* ExternalIdentifier For associating an ID with the ReportingUnit. IsDistricted 0.1 Boolean Boolean to indicate that the reporting unit is a district. {Location} 0.1 Location Location of the district office. Name 0.1 String Name of the reporting unit. Type 1 ReportingUnitType Enumerated type of reporting unit, e.g., district, precinct. OtherType 0.1 String Used when Type value is other.
