Abstract:

The Record of American Democracy (ROAD) data provide election returns, socioeconomic summaries, and demographic details about the American public at unusually low levels of geographic aggregation. The NSF-supported ROAD project spans every state in the country from 1984 through 1990 (including some off-year elections). These data enable research on topics such as electoral behavior, the political characteristics of local community context, electoral geography, the role of minority groups in elections and legislative redistricting, split ticket voting and divided government, and elections under federalism. The data included in this particular collection contain all of the geographic boundary files, so that users may easily draw maps with the data. <p>Documentation and frequently asked questions are available online at the <a href="http://www.hmdc.harvard.edu/ROAD/">ROAD Website</a>. A downloadable PDF codebook is also available in the files section of this study.</p>

Date of Collection:

If I suspect that I might recognize or know a study participant, I will immediately inform the Distributor, and I will not use or retain a copy of data regarding that study participant. If these measures to resolve an identity disclosure are not sufficient, the Distributor may terminate my use of the dataset. </li> <li> I will not reproduce the dataset except as is necessary for my scholarly purposes. I will destroy the dataset upon the completion of my scholarly work with it. </li> <li> I will not share data from the dataset (in any form or by any means) with any third party, including other members of my research team, as I understand that all users of data must obtain the data directly from the Distributor. </li> <li> I will make appropriate acknowledgement of the contributor of the dataset as well as the Distributor in any manuscript or presentation (published or unpublished) using the citation standard documented here: <a href="http://thedata.org/citation"> http ://thedata.org/citation</a> </li> <li> THE DISTRIBUTOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING OR RELATING TO THE DATASET. </li> </ul> </div>
