Japanese Municipal elections Dataset (JMED)
This original dataset includes detailed information on over 200,000 mayoral and municipal assembly candidates competing in nearly 20,000 elections in Japan from 1999 to 2021. In addition to data on municipality characteristics and election outcomes, it includes candidate names, age, gender, party affiliation, and incumbency status.
