The precinct map feature is a comprehensive compi- lation of both existing precinct maps that were created by counties and cities as well as precinct maps created by the Iowa Secretary of State's office for counties and cities that were not already available online. "This is the first time all o the precinct maps are avail- able to Iowans in one place," Schultz said.
