What can you find in MNEE Database?
- DATASET 1: Parliamentary and Presidential elections (1990-2023, national-level totals). This dataset offers the following electoral data for presidential and parliamentary elections in Montenegro since 1990: election year, party/coalition information – even for micro parties (if applicable for a particular election), votes won, seats won, seats total, percentage of seats, candidate information for presidential elections, votes won by each presidential candidate in each round, total size of the electorate, votes cast, votes valid and the source of data.
- DATASET 2: Parliamentary and Presidential elections (1990-2020, municipality and constituency-level data). Given that Dataset 1 contains national-level totals, this dataset presents data at the lower level: constituency (1990 and 1996 elections) and municipality (1992, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2016, and 2020 elections). Data for special polling stations within the “minority sub-constituency” (OSCE 2001) system that existed during the 1998-2009 period are available both within this dataset (located in separate files) and within the booklet on electoral maps.
- DATASET 3: Local elections (1990-2020). Dataset 3 contains data for local elections in Montenegro, both for the election of councilors (from 1990 up to date) and the presidents of municipalities/Mayor of Podgorica (2004-2009).
- DATASET 4: Federal Elections (1992, 1996, 2000; data for the territory of the Republic of Montenegro). Dataset 4 presents results for the federal elections held during the time of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992-2002). These elections include the May 1992 elections for the election of MPs in the federal Chamber of Citizens, the December 1992 elections for the election of MPs in the federal Chamber of Citizens; the November 1996 elections for the election of MPs in the federal Chamber of Citizens, 2000 elections for the election of MPs in the federal Chamber of Citizens and the Chamber of the Republics, and September 2000 elections for the Federal President.
- CODEBOOK FOR EACH DATASET containing detailed information on variables used in the dataset and the method of compiling the given dataset.
- ELECTORAL MAPS depicting electoral dynamics in Montenegro from 1990 to 2020. These include, among others, maps showing the gerrymandering in 1996 and the special sub-consistency system used from 1998 to 2009.
