3034 - Psephological Datasets, 1702-1865 - Worcester Poll Books, 1841-1857 Data Set Type ============= data file (2 files) Data Set Format =============== The following data formats have been prepared by the AHDS History. tab delimited text files (2 files) If requested, data may have been supplied in other formats where practicable. Using the Data ============== This study is part of a larger dataset concerning psephological data for the years 1702-1865. Similar studies are SN 3032 - 3036, 3038, 3165, 3178 and 3179. Data Notes ========== It appears that in these data sets, voting for more than one candidate was possible, hence the existence of variables like '11-', '1-1' and/or '-11'. Columns at the end of the data sets were added to allocate the different voting profiles. In the additional colums (named vote_1, vote_2, vote_3.etc) the voting profiles were separated into columns and the character '-' was replaced by a '0' so that, for example, the voting profile '11-' reads like 110.
