Several research units \u2013 and especially Sciences Po\u2019s Centre for socio-political data<\/a> \u2013 have embraced digital platforms to make a wealth of electoral materials such as results and surveys available. These are classified and sometimes complemented by studies posted online. Meanwhile, CEVIPOF has digitized close to 40,000 electoral documents, including mission statements, ballots, leaflets and posters.<\/p>\n

Making electoral data available online<\/h3>\n

\"vizlab<\/a>The Centre for socio-political data has posted all the results of French elections from 1958 to 2012<\/a>. Complete (legislative, presidential, regional, European, municipal and cantonal) and detailed (district, municipality, department, region and all of France), they can also be exploited and compared through a mapping application \u2013 Vizlab<\/a> \u2013 that enables compositions of an infinite number of variables.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in 2015 the CDSP put part of its electoral database online at data.gouv.fr<\/a>, the Open data website created by the Ministry of Interior: learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n

To complete is electoral database, the CDSP also provides a series of French pre- and post-electoral surveys (1958<\/a>, 1962<\/a>, 1978<\/a>, 1988<\/a>, 1995<\/a>, 1997<\/a>, 2002<\/a>, 2007*, 2012<\/a>) and French data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems program (2007<\/a>, 2012<\/a>).<\/p>\n

beQuali: processing and posting of qualitative surveys<\/h3>\n

Another tool that the CDSP has developed, beQuali<\/a>, makes archives of qualitative surveys available along with contextual support enabling their reuse. This includes two surveys on electoral trends conducted by Sciences Po researchers.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/div>
What is beQuali?<\/strong> Produced by the CDSP, beQuali<\/a> is a system that publishes survey archives paired with documents that help contextualize the raw \u201cdata\u201d to enable accurate reuse. Specifically, the documents cover research processes, fieldwork preparations, and the analytical phase. To this end, studies on the studies are produced to provide information on their execution and research context. The documents are posted online and individually described. Finally, several tools enable their exploration: sorting by criteria (research phase, typology, themes); visualization via interactive maps and timelines; dynamic posting of interview transcripts. Following the declaration and validation of a project to reuse the data for research or pedagogic ends, these studies can be downloaded from the Quetelet<\/a> portal. <\/div><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n\n
