Strategic Voting Data for Multiparty Plurality Elections

Replication data and Stata code for Fieldhouse and Fisher's 2026 study on strategic voting in multiparty simple plurality elections. The dataset supports the analysis published in Party Politics. The code can be repurposed to recreate the strategic options classification on other data.

Use Cases

• Replicate the analysis of strategic voting in multiparty elections based on the described methodology.
