If the county elections official stores the information and statistics in data-processing files, he or she shall make the files available, along with whatever documentation shall be necessary in order to allow the use of the files by the appropriate committee of the Legislature and shall retain these files until the next reapportionment has been completed.

Each precinct shall be identified according to the census tract or enumeration district in which it is located. When a precinct is divided among two or more census tracts or enumeration districts, the county elections official shall include an estimate of the proportion of the precinct’s registered voters in each census tract or enumeration district. If the United States Census Bureau divides or alters any census tract or enumeration district between the time of an election and the census upon which the reapportionment is based, the county elections official shall provide whatever corrections or additional information may be necessary to reflect those changes.
