https://doi.org/10.5878/002721
This is a study of historical election related legal cases in Sweden. Documentation is only available in Swedish. Purpose: The aim of this research project is to describe and explain how and why corrupt electoral practices were abolished in established democracies. This dataset is made up of an MS-Excel file containing information regarding election related legal cases in Sweden between the years of 1713 and 1869. Currently data is only available in Swedish and only presented in this Excel-format. Many of the cases can be linked to one or more photographs of material from the National Archives. See the dataset Swedish election corruption in a historical-comparative perspective - Photographs (https://doi.org/10.5878/002722Opens in a new tab).
