The Electoral Contention and Violence (ECAV) dataset is a event-based, georeferenced dataset which allows for both aggregated and disaggregated analyses of violent and nonviolent electoral contention and is available for a global sample. Between 2015-2017, research assistants coded election-related events from newswire articles. The map below displays the geographic distribution of ECAV events as 1×1 degree grid squares.
