DCLEAPIL v1.0 British local election results dataset 2006-2024

The DCLEAPIL results dataset covers British local government (principal authority) election results from 2006 to 2024, including candidate names, parties, party type, votes, vote share, Effective Number of Parties, and ward / council identifiers. The results dataset also includes partial data on electorate size, turnout, and by-elections. The collection includes a detailed coding for political parties, information on variables, and a READ ME file with further information. The DCLEAPIL dataset is public domain under a sharealike and public attribution license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/The dataset draws primarily from Andrew Teale’s LEAP dataset of local election results between 2006 and 2021, and that of the Democracy Club from 2019 to 2024. These two datasets were merged and checked by Jason Leman, kindly assisted by Andrew Teale of LEAP, Peter Keeling and others at Democracy Club. The Democracy Club dataset does not include votes cast for candidates in Scottish elections. Gerry Mulvaney’s data on votes cast for Scottish elections for 2022, hosted by Indy Live and itself drawing on Democracy Club candidate data, was therefore added to the dataset to increase coverage for Scottish elections. Local Government Boundary Commission data on electorate size was added to increase the coverage of turnout statistics.Main data sources for the DCLEAPIL dataset.Andrew Teale's Local Elections Archive Project<br>https://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/downloads<br>Democracy Club<br>https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/data/<br>Gerry Mulvenna - IndyLive<br>https://election.indylive.radio/download/<br>Local Government Boundary Commission<br>https://www.lgbce.org.uk/electoral-data<br>For more information on the dataset construction, checking processes, and calculations, please see the READ ME file.

本数据集主要取材于安德鲁·蒂尔（Andrew Teale）的2006年至2021年地方选举结果LEAP数据集（LEAP dataset），以及民主俱乐部（Democracy Club）2019年至2024年的数据集。该两份数据集由杰森·利曼（Jason Leman）进行合并与校验，LEAP数据集的安德鲁·蒂尔、民主俱乐部（Democracy Club）的彼得·基林（Peter Keeling）及其他人员提供协助。
民主俱乐部（Democracy Club）的数据集未涵盖苏格兰选举中候选人的得票数据。因此，由Indy Live托管、取材于民主俱乐部（Democracy Club）候选人数据的2022年苏格兰选举得票数据，被添加至本数据集，以扩大苏格兰选举的覆盖范围。地方政府边界委员会（Local Government Boundary Commission）提供的选民规模数据被添加至本数据集，以提升投票率统计的覆盖范围。
