ST/ SEAT Variable
The
variable ST was renamed SEAT in the fourth release of the data. This change was made to avoid confusion, as
ST is a program command in some data analysis programs.
Ghana 1996
In two
districts (Sunyani East and Evalue),
party votes (PV1) and party shares (PVS1) were incorrectly entered in the
previous releases of the data and have been corrected for the fourth release.
Hungary 1998
Several
variables (VOT1, PEV1, TO1 and CST codes) were incorrect in previous releases
of the data for Hungary 1998. Data for this country and year have been
dropped from this release and will be corrected and included in a future release
of the data.
Malawi 2004
The
variables PEV1 and TO1 were incorrectly entered for two districts (Mzuzu City and Nkhata-Bay
Central). This was corrected in the
fourth release.
Norway 1882, 1885, 1894, 1897, 1900, and 1903
The
variable MAG was incorrectly entered as “0” for several districts. It was corrected to -990 (missing value) in
the fourth release of data.
The United Kingdom 1950, 1951, 1955, 1959, 1964, 1966,
1970
The
variable CTR_N was incorrectly entered as “Woolwich, East” rather than “United
Kingdom” for the “Woolwich, East” district for the years listed above. It was
corrected to read “United Kingdom” in the fourth release of data.
CLEA Third Data Release
Posted: December 21, 2010
Nigeria 1979 and 1992
These
elections are not constituency-level data and have been dropped from the third
release.
Korea 1971
The
party votes (PV1) and shares (PVS1) were incorrect in several districts.
This was corrected in the third release.
Malawi 2004
In
two districts (Mchinji West and Lilongwe
North-West), total votes (VOT1), valid votes (VV1), party votes (PV1) and
party shares (PVS1) are inaccurate. This is an error in the source data,
and users should proceed with caution when using Malawi 2004.
Ghana 1996
In
two districts (Sunyani East and Evalue), party votes (PV1) and party shares (PVS1)
are inaccurate. This is an error in the source data, and users should
proceed with caution when using Ghana 1996.
Iceland 1934, 1937, June 1942
In
six districts (Skagafjaròarsýsla, Eyjafjaròarsýsla, Noròur-Múlasýsla,
Suòur-Múlasýsla, Rangárvallasýsla,
and Árnessýsla) voters were allowed to cast two
votes in two-member constituencies. But for two-member constituencies,
official sources present the data of valid votes counted as ballots, not
as votes. Thus, using valid votes (VV1) in the calculation of party vote
shares (PVS1) produced erroneous results in the CLEA dataset (ex. Party
vote share (PVS1) being bigger than one). In the fourth release, the
party vote shares (PVS1) were recalculated by using the total sum of
party votes (PV1) as a denominator.
Mexico
In
Appendix I, Mexico is attributed with a majority runoff system for
presidential elections. This is incorrect. Mexican presidents are elected
by plurality rule. This has been corrected in the third data release.
