Data

This project used Data supplied by the Bosnian Electoral Commission.

Raw Data

The Raw Data folder contains most of the raw data either obtained from the Electoral Commissions (Results for local and general elections) or Open Street Map for mapping data.

Cleaned Data

Raw data was cleaned using OpenRefine.

Mapping municipalities to Election Units

The only consistent low-aggregation unit in elections are municipalities: So most data is based on Municipalities. We're re-using the electoral commissions IDs for municipalities and associating them to the electoral units used in different election races.

File: [municipality-ids-election-units.csv(https://github.com/Zastone/electionsBiH/blob/master/Cleaned%20Data/Municipality%20IDs/municipality-ids-election-units.csv)

Columns:

name	description	data format
municipality_ID	ID of the municipality	0 padded 3 digit number
municipality_name	Name of the Municipality	String
election_type	Name of the election	an Election Race
election_unit_id	ID of the election unit the municipality is part of	0 padded 3 digit number

Mapping election units to seats

Further we've gathered the number of seats in the various parliaments by election unit in parliament-seats-by-election-units.csv

Shape files for Municipalities

We unified data from Open Street Map into a shapefile of municipalities and added two municipalities missing on OSM.

Reuse
