data(ei_NZ_2005)
A tibble containing 69 observations and 6 variables:
Number_of_district

District
Name of the district/electorate.
Votes_to_parties
A tibble for each electorate/district with the party votes recorded in each voting unit of the district.
Votes_to_candidates
A tibble for each electorate/district with the candidate votes recorded in each voting unit of the district.
District_cross_votes

Description of the Votes_to_parties
, Votes_to_candidates
, District_cross_votes
and District_cross_percentages
variables in more detail, where N(i), R(i) and C(i) denote, respectively, the number of voting units, party voting options and candidate voting options in district i
:
Votes_to_parties
: A list of 69 tibbles/data.frames, with each data.frame containing N(i) observations and 2+R(i) variables. The two first variables, City
and Address
inform, respectively, about the place in the district where the voting unit is located and the voting unit address. The rest of the columns correspond to the votes gained by the different party voting options competing in the district. The orders of the voting units in Votes_to_parties
and Votes_to_candidates
coincide.
Votes_to_candidates
: A list of 69 tibbles/data.frames, with each data.frame containing N(i) observations and 2+C(i) variables. The two first variables, City
and Address
inform, respectively, about the place in the district where the voting unit is located and the voting unit address. The rest of the columns correspond to the votes gained by the different candidate voting options competing in the district. The orders of the voting units in Votes_to_candidates
and Votes_to_parties
coincide.
District_cross_votes
: A list of 69 tibbles/data.frames, with each data.frame containing R(i) rows and 1+C(i) columns (variables). The first variable, which is labelled after the name of the district, contains the names of the parties in the same order than in corresponding Votes_to_parties
tibble, the rest of the variables (columns), ordered as in the corresponding Votes_to_candidates
tibble, are labelled as the candidate voting options.
District_cross_percentages
: A list of 69 tibbles/data.frames, with each data.frame containing R(i) rows and 1+C(i) columns (variables). The first variable, which is labelled after the name of the district, contains the names of the parties in the same order than in corresponding Votes_to_parties
tibble, the rest of the variables (columns), ordered as in the corresponding Votes_to_candidates
tibble, are labelled as the candidate voting options.
The New Zealand Electoral Commission had no involvement in preparing these data sets. The raw data has been pre-processed in order to guarantee their straighforward usefulness in ecological inference procedures. Some small discrepancies exist among the figures in District_cross_percentages
and District_cross_votes
. The percentages are a direct translation of the published data, whereas the vote counts have been adjusted using integer linear programming to make them congruents with the figures in Votes_to_parties
and Votes_to_candidates
. More details in Pavia (2021). For the official results, visit https://www.electionresults.govt.nz.
