The records provide documentation that proper procedures were followed, along with the voting results from the district. The series includes such records such as a poll book containing the names of those who voted in the district, tally sheets used to total up the votes for each candidate, and vote totals signed by the election judges. In addition the records include an election district map published in 1937.
