We provide our dataset in CSV format.\n\n**[Read more about HowTheyVote.eu and our data license.](https://howtheyvote.eu/about)**\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e In case of questions or feedback, please feel free to open a [ticket](https://github.com/HowTheyVote/howtheyvote/issues/new?template=Blank+issue\u0026labels=data)!\n\u003e You can also reach out via email: mail at howtheyvote.eu\n\u003e In case you encounter an **error in our data**, please use [this form](https://tally.so/r/w2eb1M?type=Incorrect+vote+results\u0026link=https%3A%2F%2Fhowtheyvote.eu) to report it!\n\n## Latest Exports\n\nTo download the current dataset click [here](https://github.com/HowTheyVote/data/releases/latest).\n\nThere, you will find the documentation for each data export. At the bottom of each export, you can download all files as a single `export.zip` file.\n\n![](img/export.png)\n\n## Stable Links\n\nBesides downloading the whole export as a single `.zip` file, you can also download individual files.\n\nThese are provided as `csv.gz` files and are e.g., useful for scripting purposes. For example, the URL `https://github.com/HowTheyVote/data/releases/latest/download/votes.csv.gz` will always link to the latest available `Votes` CSV.\n\n### How to: Load the export files into `pandas`\n\nAs an illustration, using these stable links, the following snippet shows how you can load the `Votes` table from our export into a `pandas` dataframe. Executing this code will always load the latest available version of this file.\n\n```python\nimport pandas as pd\nvotes_df = pd.read_csv('https://github.com/HowTheyVote/data/releases/latest/download/votes.csv.gz', compression='gzip')\nvotes_df.head()\n```\n\nWe also provide a file called `last_updated.txt`, in which the creation time of the export is stored as a timestamp.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FHowTheyVote%2Fdata","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FHowTheyVote%2Fdata","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FHowTheyVote%2Fdata/lists"}
