This repository contains a set of python and R scripts to parse voting registration files in the United States into csv files with the same variables:
voter_id
first_name
middle_name
last_name
birth_date
gender
turnout2008
turnout2010
turnout2012
turnout2014
party_affiliation_2008
party_affiliation_2010
party_affiliation_2012
party_affiliation_2014
party_affiliation
(current)residential_address
zipcode
race
,ethnicity
(in Florida and North Carolina)
When any of these variables is not available, that column will be left empty (NA
). The idea is to be able to easily merge all these files if so desired.
Pull requests, comments, and suggestions are very welcome!
