Study includes raw and percentagized election returns, as well as information on religious composition, for all of the one hundred municipalities of The Netherlands. Data are available for each of the nine general elections to the Lower House (Tweede Kamer) of the Dutch Parliament, 1888-1917. Religious variables were derived from information found in the 1909 Census of The Netherlands. Additional variables, computed from the basic election statistics on the basis of a left-right dimension of the political parties, have also been incorporated into the data set.
