Variable: Violence and Civilian Deaths before Election

QoG Code: (nelda_vcdbe)


Dataset: National Elections Across Democracy and Autocracy, Version 6

Description:

If there was any significant violence relating to the elections that resulted in civilian deaths, a 'Yes' is coded. These deaths should be at least plausibly related to the election, though sometimes it is difficult to be certain. Deaths related to civil war that are not intended to influence the election, and are not caused by the election, should not be counted.
