This project will provide a new, comprehensive political data base for studying the formative years of the American democratic experiment, 1788-1824. During this period voter turnout underwent the greatest increase in American history expanding from less than one third of the adult white males to more than half, and in some states three fourths, of all adult white male inhabitants. The data base will consist of machine readable county-level data for the southern and western states and town-level data for New England and some Middle Atlantic states. Both candidate name and party name indices will be developed for all major races. The project will generate turnout figures as well as the degree of competition and consistency of party voting across all major political offices. These election statistics will be linked to available census data to provide a better understanding of early national party cleavages.

该项目将为研究1788-1824年美国民主实验的形成时期提供一个新的、全面的政治数据库。 在此期间，选民投票率经历了美国历史上最大的增长，从不到成年白色男性的三分之一扩大到一半以上，在一些州，四分之三，所有成年白色男性居民。 该数据库将包括南部和西部各州的可机读县级数据以及新英格兰和大西洋中部一些州的城镇级数据。 将为所有主要种族制定候选人姓名和政党姓名索引。 该项目将产生投票率数字以及所有主要政治办公室的竞争程度和政党投票的一致性。 这些选举统计数据将与现有的人口普查数据联系起来，以便更好地了解早期的全国性政党分裂。
