Mark McClure, Professor of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina Asheville, has designed an interactive map of North Carolina called Buncombe County Voting that that shows how the79 voting precincts here voted in the last major election. You can find your own precinct to see where it falls on the spectrum. Click here to explore the map.
What are my voting districts?
It all depends on where you live. When election time rolls around, you have the opportunity to vote for your representatives
- at the federal level (President, Senator, Congressional Representative)
- at the state level (NC Senate, NC House)
- at the county level (County Commissioner)
- at the city level (for example, City of Asheville votes for City Council members).
And there are other offices and districts as well.
New districts have been drawn following the 2020 Census and will be used for the 2022 elections.
You can see a list of your districts by entering your information at the Voter Lookup page on the NC Board of Elections website. First, find your personal record, then click on your name. Click the dropdown arrow where it says “Jurisdictions” and you’ll see all your districts.
You can see the district maps here. And to see who your actual representatives are, use the Representative Finder Tool, also on the Buncombe County Board of Elections website. Just enter your address, then choose which district you want to view from the selections at the top of the screen.
