§ 12261 Election Precinct Boundary Rules
This law says the voting precinct lines used in a general election must be the same as those used in the primary election, unless they need to be changed because of population shifts, too many voters in one precinct, or changes in city or county borders.
A town’s precinct has 1,200 registered voters, which is more than the 1,000‑voter limit.
Because the precinct is too big, the election officials must split it into two smaller precincts before the next general election, keeping the rest of the lines the same as they were for the primary.
