Creating a network for a collective research project
The Mozambique Elections website contains all available data on Mozambican elections from 1999 through to 2014. Election results are in a mix of pdf and xls formats and in different levels of detail, as published by the National Electons Commission.
In addition there are some Constitutional Council rulings which contain results, some parallel vote tabulations (PVTs), official lists of polling stations, and data contributed by other researchers in this network, which follow the ofiicial results. Material will be added over time, as it become available.
We are building a collaborative network of scholars doing statistical research and analysis on Mozambique elections. If you are using this data, we ask that you send us not just your articles and working papers but also your data sets to be posted and shared here. All updates will be credited to the author.
One problem with the files as presented is that they are not in useful formats for statistical analysis and thus require some work in reformatting. Therefore, if you have done the hard work, could you send the reformatted initial files to the editor, Joseph Hanlon, so others can build on your work <j.hanlon@lse.ac.uk>.
Links and papers, in Portuguese or English, will be posted on the Election Research. We would also like to post a list of scholars working on Mozambique election data. If you are using this data, could you please send a note and allow me to add you to the list. Please help to build our network and share our research.
