An ESRI shapefile named "INDIANA_HOUSE_LEGISLATIVE_DISTRICS" was provided to personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey on January 4, 2005, by Lori Hershberger-Clark, Indiana Election Division. The shapefile was reprojected from UTM Zone 16 NAD 27 to UTM Zone 16 NAD 83, using ESRI ArcToolbox. It was then opened in ESRI ArcGIS 9.0 and each legislative district was attributed with the name and party affiliation of the legislator for the 114th General Assembly. This information was obtained from the offical web site of the Indiana General Assembly ( <http://www.in.gov/legislative/> ).
