Aggregated V-Dem country expert ratings whether any political parties are banned. Lower values indicate more parties are banned, higher values suggest less parties banned.
Coding rules
Ordinal ratings were aggregated to interval scale applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2021). Experts were asked "Are any parties banned?" and the ordinal wordings of the question were (Coppedge et al. 2021b, 92):
- 0: Yes. All parties except the state-sponsored party (and closely allied parties) are banned.
- 1: Yes. Elections are non-partisan or there are no officially recognized parties.
- 2: Yes. Many parties are banned.
- 3: Yes. But only a few parties are banned.
- 4: No. No parties are officially banned.
