Vagaries associated with spatial and address data require users of geocoding software to make many quick decisions in order to create timely, accurate information. Paramount among those decisions is a method for standardizing street addresses. This paper will reveal the methods that were used to rework voters files so that ArcView GIS software's geocoding functions could be used to help assign voters to their appropriate polling districts. Pitfalls to be avoided to improve accuracy and efficiency will also be discussed.
