Elections and Electoral Systems in the Americas: South America
Abstract
This data handbook on Elections in the Americas is part of a wider project covering electoral data worldwide. Until recently, scholars of political science have been accustomed to finding information on elections ordered by country on the basis of their economic, social and political levels of development. In contrast, the data in this handbook is organized along continental lines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
