Abstract
This document describes the structure, content, and construction process of the datasets constituting the “Colombia’s Electoral Results” repository as of 10/27/2023 (Version 1.1). The repository comprises 124 datasets containing the results of the vast majority of elections for mayors, municipal councilors, assembly deputies, governors, lower house representatives, senators, and presidents between 1958 and 2022. In addition, we present a new database containing information on all of the political parties, movements, coalitions, and significant citizen groups that were involved in these elections. Finally, this document provides guidance on how to use the databases and a summary of the major changes to the electoral system that occurred between 1958 and 2022.
