The Lijphart Election Archive

这项研究规划赠款将评估建立电子选举数据库和档案的可行性。目前还没有一种机器可读的、记录世界民主选举的选区级选举报告来源。这样一个档案的目标是通过互联网建立“一站式购物”，满足所有选举数据的需求。数据和代码本可以由具有文件访问和下载能力的档案馆保存，或者，在先前收集或受版权保护的数据的情况下，将提供替代来源和访问信息。

This research planning grant will assess the feasibility of establishing an electronic elections database and archive. At present no single machine readable, constituency level source for election returns documenting the world's democratic elections exists. The goal of such an archive is to establish "one stop shopping" via the Internet for all election data needs. Data and codebooks may be held by the archive with file access and download capabilities or, in instances of previously collected or copyrighted data, alternative sources and access information will be provided.
