Aggregated V-Dem country expert ratings whether major political parties are competitive in different regions of the country. Lower values indicate competition in less regions, higher values suggest competition in more regions.
Coding rules
Ordinal ratings were aggregated to interval scale applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2021). Experts were asked "Which of the following best describes the nature of electoral support for major parties (those gaining over 10 % of the vote)?" and the ordinal wordings of the question were (Coppedge et al. 2021b, 95):
- 0: Most major parties are competitive in only one or two regions of the country, i.e., their support is heavily concentrated in a few areas.
- 1: Most major parties are competitive in some regions of the country, but not in others.
- 2: Most major parties are competitive in most regions of the country.
