party_crosswalk

This function creates a crosswalk between parties and their corresponding names using the ParlGov view_party table. In cases where the party name is not found in the view_party table, the function returns NA. Note that this function should be run on GERDA party names, and will likely not work on other party naming schemes.

Provides tools to download comprehensive datasets of local,
state, and federal election results in Germany from 1990 to 2025. The package
facilitates access to data on turnout, vote shares for major parties, and
demographic information across different levels of government (municipal, state,
and federal). It offers access to geographically harmonized datasets
that account for changes in municipal boundaries over time and incorporate
mail-in voting districts. Includes bundled county-level covariates from INKAR
and municipality-level Census 2022 data.
Users can easily retrieve, clean, and standardize German electoral data,
making it ready for analysis. Data is sourced from
