   The Constituency-Level Elections Archive (CLEA) is a repository of
   detailed election results at the constituency level for lower house
   legislative elections from around the world. Our motivation is to
   preserve and consolidate these valuable data in one comprehensive and
   reliable resource that is ready for analysis and publicly available at
   no cost. This public good is expected to be of use to a range of
   audiences for research, education, and policy-making.

   For more information about CLEA, please visit the About Us page.

Announcement

   The latest CLEA data release (Release 9 - 20161024) includes 89 new
   elections from 27 countries, increasing our coverage to a total of
   1,720 elections from 142 countries.

   Elections from six new countries and territories are included: Aruba,
   Faroe Islands, Greenland, Slovakia, Vanuatu, and Venezuela.

   Following the previous release, we continue to provide additional data
   formats in separate files for ease of use. CLEA data are available in
   Stata, SPSS, R, and SAS formats, and as a tab-delimited text file for
   import into Excel. Appendix II (Party Codes) is also available as an
   Excel file. Additionally, a supplemental file with candidate codes and
   names in native languages for Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Ukraine is
   now provided.

   The party nationalization datasets will be released shortly. The three
   party nationalization datasets from the previous release will remain on
   our website until then.

   We'd like to thank our users for bringing errors and new data to our
   attention. These have been addressed in the latest release, and the
   list of changes and corrections can be found at the Data Center, under
   the Errata section.
