In what follows, ## represents the Census county code, %% represents the California Assembly District number. To obtain the Census county code from the county name, refer to Appendix A. ``T'' represents a code for the type of election (e.g. ``G'' = general election. ``P'' = primary election). ``YR'' represents the year. For example, data at the block level have filename naming conventions such as BLOCK_##.TYR. So the file BLOCK_01.G92 is the data at the block level for the general election in 1992 in Alameda county. There are 58 California Counties and 80 Assembly districts.

In addition to being part of the ROAD collection, all files are currently on disk$data on cain.berkeley.edu. Cain.berkeley.edu can be reached by anonymous FTP. Downloads on standard media of these files can also be obtained from UC DATA at Berkeley. They should be requested by the filenames specified below. All codebook files reside in disk$data:[igs.doc] or disk$data:[igs.doc.g92].
