The goal of this Datastory project is to collect detailed voter turnout statistics from every country participating in the European Parliament elections. The repository contains, for each country:
- Turnout data in
data/{year}/raw/ - Shapefiles in
data/{year}/shapefiles - Notebooks in
notebooks/{year}
Each notebook is responsible for:
- Scraping or loading already downloaded turnout data.
- Processing the turnout data to standardize ID codes and names.
- Updating shapefiles when out of date or incorrect.
- Merging turnout data and shapefiles and save final output.
