I have the following map of a state with its precincts inside of it:



enter image description here



Is there any way that I can get a list of the precincts that are on the border of the state? I have been looking through the different tools that ArcMap has but I cant find anything useful.

          1. Dissolve to get one big state polygon

          2. Use Select by Location with spatial query "Share a line segment with" to select precincts that are on the border of dissolved state polygon

          You will see the selected polygons listed in the attribute table

            I think the spatial query "share a line segment with" may also work (without the switch selection).
