#' Download data on federal election coalitions in Brazil
#'
#' \code{legends()} downloads and aggregates the data on the party denomination (coalitions or parties) from the federal elections in Brazil,
#' disaggregated bi cities. The function returns a \code{data.frame} where each observation
#' corresponds to a city.
#'
#' @note For elections prior to 2002, some information can be incomplete.
#'
#' @param year Election year. For this function, only the years 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018
#' are available.
#' 
#' @param uf Federation Unit acronym (\code{character vector}).
#' 
#' @param br_archive In the TSE's data repository, some results can be obtained for the whole country by loading a single
#' within a single file by setting this argument to \code{TRUE} (may not work in for some elections and, in 
#' other, it recovers only electoral data for presidential elections, absent in other files).
#'
#'
#' @param encoding Data original encoding (defaults to 'Latin-1'). This can be changed to avoid errors
#' when \code{ascii = TRUE}.
#' 
#' 
#' @param temp (\code{logical}). If \code{TRUE}, keep the temporary compressed file for future use (recommended)
#'
#' @param readme_pdf original readme
#'
#' @details If export is set to \code{TRUE}, the downloaded data is saved as .dta and .sav
#'  files in the current directory.
#'
#' @return \code{legend_fed()} returns a \code{data.frame}.
