Replication Data for: Designing Electoral Districts for Proportional Representation Systems. How Electoral Geography and Partisan Politics Constrain Proportionality and Create Bias

Description:'Proportional representation (PR) electoral systems have grown widespreadbecause they are expected to ensure the representation of interests withsmall or geographically inefficiently distributed voter bases. Yet in reality,most PR systems consist of a large number of districts that vary strongly insize and some have surprisingly low magnitude. Existing research showsthat such differences matter greatly for political outcomes but offers noexplanation for their origins. We argue that the design of electoral districtsin newly adopted PR systems is systematically linked to electoralgeography and partisan politics.
