gerda: German Election Database (GERDA)

Provides tools to download datasets of German elections covering local, state, federal, mayoral, European Parliament, and county (Kreistag) elections, with federal county-level coverage from 1953 and other families extending through 2025. The package supplies turnout, vote shares, and derived indicators at the municipal and county level, including geographically harmonized datasets that account for changes in municipal boundaries over time and incorporate mail-in voting districts. Bundled data includes county-level INKAR covariates (1995-2022) and municipality-level Zensus 2022 indicators. Data is sourced from <https://github.com/awiedem/german_election_data>.
