- CONGRESS_DISTRICTS_115TH_USCB_IN.SHP was derived by modification of a preexisting shapefile named REDISTRICTING_INDIANA_CONGRESSIONAL_DISTRICTS.SHP. The redistricted boundaries were provided to the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) by the Indiana Election Division (IED) in May, 2011. The redistricted boundaries are the new U.S. Congressional Districts for Indiana for 2011 through 2021. NOTE: Personnel of the IGS updated all attribute information on January 3, 2017. Attributes included the names and various contact information for each of Indiana's nine representatives for the 115th U.S Congress to this dataset. The information was obtained from the official Web site for each representative, which were obtained from the following Web site: http://www.house.gov/representatives/

- Abstract
- This data set shows Indiana's nine district boundaries (redistricted boundaries were adopted in May 2011 until 2021) for the 115th U.S. Congress and provides the name, party affiliation, and additional contact information for each of the representatives. The 115th U.S. Congress, Session I began on January 3, 2017. NOTE: A new Congress begins at noon January 3 of each odd-numbered year following a general election, unless it designates a different day by law. A Congress lasts for two years, with each year constituting a separate session. NOTE: Redistricting of all Indiana legislative boundaries were adopted in May 2011, and will be used from 2011 through 2021. Republicans who controlled the Indiana House and Senate from the 117th General Assembly oversaw the drawing of new maps in the Spring of 2011 for all 100 state house and 50 state senate districts and Indiana's nine congressional seats. New political districts are drawn every 10 years to incorporate information from the latest U.S. Census.
