Description This dataset was produced within the framework of the Making Electoral Democracy Work Project. It contains pre-election and post-election survey data from the 2013 federal election in Lower Saxony. Making Electoral Democracy Work (MEDW) is an international collaborative project that was conducted between 2009 and 2017 by a large team of political scientists, economists, and psychologists from Canada, Europe, and the United States. Its goal was to examine how the rules of the game (especially the electoral system) and the electoral context (especially the competitiveness and salience of the election) influence the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between voters and parties. To do so, the project gathered data for different types of elections held in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland between 2010 and 2016. In each country, two subnational units, typically regions, were studied. The analyses were complemented by laboratory and online experiments, as well as data on the parties’ campaigns. A selection of the project publications can be found at http://electoraldemocracy.com/publications.
