About State Legislative Districts .. goto top State legislative districts (SLDs) are areas from which members are elected to state or equivalent entity legislatures. SLDs include upper (senate—SLDU) and lower (house—SLDL) chambers of the state legislatures. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature and the District of Columbia has a single council, both of which are treated as upper-chamber legislative areas for the purposes of data access and use. There are no data by the lower house of the SLDs for Nebraska or the District of Columbia. State Legislative District (SLD) geography and data reviewed in this section are for SLDs in effect for the 2022 election cycle. SLDs are organized as State Legislative Districts - Upper Chamber (SLDUs) and State Legislative Districts - Lower Chamber (SLDLs). There are 1,955 SLDUs and 4,839 SLDLs. ProximityOne has developed a single national scope shapefile for use in Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for each SLDL and SLDU. These shapefiles have been developed by merging Census-sourced state by state shapefiles (SLDU and SLDL separately) and then clipping the boundaries at shoreline.
