precinct
Voting boundary area
A precinct is a defined district or bounded area, typically for administrative purposes.
In American politics, precincts are the smallest voting divisions: Which precinct do you vote in?
Police precincts are both jurisdictional zones and the station houses within them: He was taken to the precinct for questioning.
The plural precincts often means the grounds or environs of a place: the precincts of the cathedral, within the precincts of the university.
