Experiment on Approval Voting during the 2007 French Presidential Election (00071)

This dataset contains data from a voting experiment conducted in April 2007 during the French presidential election in the cities of Louvigny, Cigné and Illkirch. In this experiment, participants were asked to test alternative voting methods to elect the French president, more precisely approval voting and evaluative voting (with the scale {0,1,2}). The experiment took place in situ in six polling stations during the first round of the presidential election (using paper ballots). The full dataset (that contains more information) can be found here. This dataset and more similar datasets collected during voting experiments can be found here.
