Every Bundestag Vote Dataset

The dataset contains information on every plenary vote (recorded or non-recorded) taken in the German Bundestag during the 19th legislative period (2017-2021). It is the first dataset available that systematically reports Bundestag votes taken by means other than roll call (Namentliche Abstimmung). We gratefully acknowledge excellent research assistance by Jakob Hirn. The dataset is available on two levels - the level of plenary votes and the level of individual opposition parties on each plenary vote. Use this dataset to reproduce the analyses in Lukas Hohendorf, Ulrich Sieberer, and Jonas Wenzig (2023): Recorded votes as attention booster: How opposition parties use roll-calls and non-recorded votes for position-taking in the German Bundestag, 2017-2021, Legislative Studies Quarterly, doi: 10.1111/lsq.12442. The dataset may be used freely for scientific purposes. Please cite the article above if using the data.

本数据集收录德国联邦议院（German Bundestag）第19届立法任期（2017-2021年）内所有全院会议表决（plenary vote，含记名表决与非记名表决）的相关信息。这是迄今为止首个可公开获得的、系统性汇报德国联邦议院采用非记名表决方式开展的表决结果的数据集。我们谨对Jakob Hirn提供的卓越研究协助致以衷心谢意。本数据集设有两级数据维度：全院会议表决级数据，以及单次全院表决下各反对党分项数据。可利用本数据集复现Lukas Hohendorf、Ulrich Sieberer及Jonas Wenzig（2023）发表于《立法研究季刊》（Legislative Studies Quarterly）的论文分析：《记名表决作为关注度助推器：反对党如何利用记名表决与非记名表决在2017-2021年德国联邦议院开展立场宣示》，DOI: 10.1111/lsq.12442。本数据集可免费用于科研用途，若使用该数据集，请引用上述论文。
