Overall I think this looks good, just have a few minor tweaks. Also, curious about the 'validTo' header, shouldn't it be 'validThrough' according to the docs @jloutsenhizer?

It looks like in MA the effective date state legislators take office is "the first Wednesday in January" according to the MA SoS. So the validFrom date should be 1/4/23

@ballotpedia can you take a look into this?

I think these should be hyphenated as /sldu:chittenden-central instead of underscored /sldu:chittenden_central to reflect the descriptions in this redistricting doc

doesn't look like the comment preview is showing the right lines, but referring to lines 1785-1787

@ballotpedia can you address this comment? I don't have a strong opinion either way

MiniCodeMonkey · 2022-12-14T11:14:50Z

Would be great to get this merged in, so we can get the final OCD identifiers stabilized for the updated districts

MiniCodeMonkey · 2022-12-21T10:04:51Z

It looks like districts were updated for the ND and SD house, but not for the senate (the districts are the same for the house and senate).

The following entries are thus missing:

ocd-division/country:us/state:nd/sldu:4a,North Dakota State Senate district 4A
ocd-division/country:us/state:nd/sldu:4b,North Dakota State Senate district 4B
ocd-division/country:us/state:nd/sldu:9a,North Dakota State Senate district 9A

Thanks for flagging this. We double-checked some sources but do not believe the North Dakota and South Dakota senates split their districts in this way. Here are the 2023 Senate membership lists for each chamber, which do not indicate such splits:

@ballotpedia Thanks for double checking this! The sources I'm getting these from are:

North Dakota: https://ndlegis.gov/downloads/redistricting-2021/finalshape1282021.zip

South Dakota: The Find My Legislators 2021 adopted map: https://sdlegislature.gov/Legislators/Find (District 26A/B and 28A/B are visible).

I am not sure why there is mismatch with the legislator rooster.

Thank you -- sorry for the delay, but just an update that we are looking more closely into this

We have confirmed that only the lower chambers (House) for both of these states have these separate subdivisions.

MiniCodeMonkey · 2023-01-11T15:44:10Z

@ballotpedia Thanks for confirming!

@nuttingd1 you're right about validThrough instead of validTo. I may have contributed to some of the incorrect use of validTo in other PRs. I'll look into rectifying that. @ballotpedia can you update this PR to make use of validThrough

Overall this looks good to me. @ballotpedia can you take a look into the issues raised by @nuttingd1

Hi @jloutsenhizer , I have pushed a change that should take care of the issues mentioned above in the us_sldu.csv file.

Changed "validTo" to "validThrough"
Fixed the MA state senate validFrom and validThrough dates
Replaced underscores with hyphens in some VT state senate OCD IDs

I also ran the compile script and tests. Please let me know if there is anything else!

nuttingd1 · 2023-02-15T15:04:18Z

@ballotpedia can you also change the "validTo" header in the us_sldl.csv file to "validThrough" and run the compile script again?

ballotpedia · 2023-02-15T15:48:12Z

@nuttingd1 done! How's it look now?

nuttingd1

@ballotpedia these changes look good to me!

This looks good to me, but the person from our group who possibly had merge rights has left. @jloutsenhizer?
