# Find non-legislative districts

`GET /nonlegislative_district`

Cicero tracks non-legislative district boundaries and makes information about the districts available through the nonlegislative_district resource. The types of non-legislative districts tracked by Cicero vary regionally. The default response ordering is by `id`.

Successful response

- object
  - `response` ResponseDistrict
    - `errors` unknown[] — If the request encountered an error or errors, details about the error(s) will be contained in this field.
      - unknown
    - `messages` unknown[] — Contains the resources matching the request query, if any.
      - unknown
    - `results` object — Contains additional information about the outcome of a request that is not an error and not part of a query result.
      - `districts` DistrictObject[]
        - `id` number — The Cicero database ID for this district. This field is persistent for a given District, but this does not imply that the remainder of the response payload will never change. For example, a correction to the district boundary will change the response payload but will not change the ID. On the other hand, a boundary change due to a legal event such as an annexation or redistricting will result in a new District with a new ID (and appropriate adjustments to the valid_to field, if necessary).
        - `sk` number — The surrogate key for the district. Provided for API uniformity. For this resource, the SK is equivalent to the ID.
        - `valid_from` string — The date the district was established. Usually, this is the date of the last redistricting.
        - `valid_to` string — The date when the district's boundaries are expected to be changed. Usually, this is the date of the next redistricting.
        - `last_update_date` string — Date the Cicero research team last made changes to this district's boundary information.
        - `district_type` string — The level of government the district represents. See the district_type metadata endpoint for a list of possibilities.
        - `subtype` string — An additional categorization within district_type.
        - `country` string — The country the district is within. Uses the ISO 2 country code.
        - `state` string — The state, province, or region the district is within.
        - `city` string — The city the district represents, if the district_type is LOCAL or LOCAL_EXEC.
        - `district_id` string — The identifying code for the district within its delegation or district type. For example, a legislative delegation's 5th district would probably have a district_id of '5'. Non-legislative districts might have an ID assigned by the managing agency (e.g., US Census Block Groups have a GEOID).
        - `label` string — Descriptive text associated with a district_id, such as the label for the district (e.g., “5th Ward”), or a full label for the district (e.g. “Sealaska Alaska Native Regional Corporation”).
        - `num_officials` number — The number of elected officials that hold offices representing this district.
        - `ocd_id` string — The Open Civic Data Identifier for the district. Provides a standardized way of specifying and describing a geographic political division.
        - `data` object — Deprecated.
      - `count` CountObject
        - `from` integer
        - `to` integer
        - `total` integer
