Description
Three decades of harmonized electoral indicators for Rome, Italy, from 1993 to 2023, created by Roberto De Rosa. The dataset includes measures of turnout, party competition, volatility, and personalization across municipal, national, and European elections. It is a small dataset of 393 bytes, last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
Analyzing long-term trends in voter participation based on turnout and abstention indicators.
Studying party system fragmentation and re-pluralization using the Effective Number of Electoral Parties (ENEP).
Measuring electoral volatility and realignment timing with Pedersen’s volatility index and cross-correlation tests.
Investigating the personal vote in mayoral elections using the mayor–list gap indicator.
Strengths
Covers a 30-year time span from 1993 to 2023.
Compares electoral behavior across four distinct political arenas (municipal, regional, national, European).
Uses official election returns from the Italian Ministry of the Interior (Eligendo).
Constructs harmonized indicators for consistent longitudinal analysis.
Limitations
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
