Dichotomous indicator whether an election to the 1st or lower legislative chamber took place in a given year.
Coding rules
- Based on WeSIS' entity list, the indicator represents a time-series for each entity ranging from the first to the last year a country either was "independent" or "related to" (columns "independence" and "relation_year" respectively). For some entities the time-series may therefore largely consist of "zeros".
- Only elections to 1st or "lower" chambers are considered. Presidential elections and elections to 2nd chambers are not included in Elections Global.
- Data is reported valid as of December 31st of a given year. In rare cases where more than one election took place in a given year, earlier elections are not included.
For further coding rules see the codebook of Döring and Düpont 2020.
