§ 22-7-103 — Establishing or altering election districts or precincts; designation of special precincts

(a) In establishing or altering election districts or
voting precincts, the board of county commissioners shall be
guided by the interests and convenience of the greatest number
of electors involved. Election districts and voting precincts
shall coincide with the boundary of a municipality or ward
therein and school and community college trustee residence areas
and shall not cross municipal boundaries except in cases where
the board of county commissioners finds, and specifies in the
minutes of its meeting the reasons why it is not practical to
conform the boundaries of the election district or precinct to
the municipal boundary.
(b) For elections other than the primary and general
election, the county commissioners may designate different
precincts than those used in the general election.
