Links and references to access raw public datasets online are reported in Replication_DataSources.pdf. All datasets required to execute intermediate processing steps and final analysis steps are included in Data Directory.7z. The Data Directory also contains the complete file structure into which raw datasets may be saved. Complete raw datasets are not shared directly due to repository constraints on data size and number of files, as well as use-restrictions on re-posting some of the data. Personal information about political candidates (CPF, name, and campaign name) have been omitted from the updated version to ensure compliance with GDPR. These data are publicly available online and may be reconnected with candidates using candidate_id_tse.
