NDI has requested that we make this repo private for now, as they review observer data and want to ensure that we don't make certain data available to the public.

The districtx population data for some districts are is repeated:
dist.json.zip
https://github.com/developmentseed/af-elections-data/blob/master/2018-wolesi-jirga/districts.csv
example:

 "name": "Provincial Capital Of Herat (herat)",
        "name_dari": "هرات",
        "id": 320101,
        "dist_id": 3201,
        "province_name": "Hirat",
        "province_name_dari": "هرات",
        "province_id": 32,
        "admin_type": "district",
        "unit_type": "District",
        "distId": 320101,
        "provId": 32,
        "geoId": 3201,
        "registeredMen": 6611,
        "registeredWomen": 4660,
        "registeredTotal": 11271,
        "femalePopulationRural": 0,
        "malePopulationRural": 0,
        "totalPopulationRural": 0,
        "femalePopulationUrban": 270069,
        "malePopulationUrban": 268604,
        "totalPopulationUrban": 538673,
        "totalPopulationFemale": 270069,
        "totalPopulationMale": 268604,
        "totalPopulation": 270069,
        "womenCandidates": 28,

From ☝️ the totalPopulation and totalPopulationFemale has the same values, coudl you check it.

Compile base data for 2005 from data on https://afghanistanelectiondata.org/open/data:

• provinces.csv
• districts.csv
• polling-centers.csv

Following this spec: https://github.com/developmentseed/af-elections-api

Generate:

• results.sqlite
• candidates.csv

We have to update the geoId for provinces according to the 421 CSO which is the same 419 AGCHO

ref: https://github.com/developmentseed/af-elections/issues/97#issuecomment-484117765

Generate:

• results.sqlite
• candidates.csv

The breakdown of observers per province should be compiled from the multiple sheets in the workbook found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H6T57vHCOJfofok4fMRdQ2ViUbEGmt867N8uyBarpRw/edit?usp=sharing

While the 2018 data story requests only total observers per province, I suggest we add all data points per province for posterity.

Each election year has a provinces.csv and districts.csv file that currently includes only the province/district name, id, and geoId. To keep track of the origin of all base, non-processed data, we would like to add the following data columns to each CSV for each year:

• Population
• Registered Voters
• Observers
• ECC Complaints

For example, 2018's provinces.csv will contain the following:

See the recent PR on 2018 for an example: #50

• review the geoId of the provinces and make sure we are using
• add the geoId to the districts

We should be using the 419 AGCHO standard.

Each election should have its own Readme in which we document the source of each dataset, a data dictionary, and whether we've done any processing.

Review the provinces and districts of 2018, and ensure that they use the 419 AGCHO standard.

See: https://github.com/developmentseed/af-elections/issues/97#issuecomment-479578737

For:

• 2010
• 2018

See docs for spec: https://github.com/developmentseed/af-elections-api/tree/feature/candidate-meta#candidatescsv

Based on the 2010 election results, determine which candidates are incumbent in 2018.

Compile base data for 2005 from data on https://afghanistanelectiondata.org/open/data:

• provinces.csv
• districts.csv
• polling-centers.csv

Following this spec: https://github.com/developmentseed/af-elections-api

• trim the white-space on the polling center names
• add missing district ID

Currently, Kuchi and Sikh metadata like registeredVoters are included in the actual provinces (Kabul, Kapisa, etc).

Since the IEC vote count for Kuchi and Sikh are reported in separate and special provinces, their metadata should follow the same logic. If we don't, voter participation rates will be off (eg. Total votes Kabul / Registered voters Kabul).

Clean up the 2010 candidates.csv:

• English names
• incumbent
• elected preliminary
• elected final

The 2010 result pages show this information, but the CSV files with raw result data only contain the names in Dari, and no indication of of incumbents / elected.

From this file: https://afghanistanelectiondata.org/sites/default/files/pollingcenters_2009.csv
generate:

• provinces.csv
• districts.csv
• polling-centers.csv

Following this spec: https://github.com/developmentseed/af-elections-api

Generate:

• results.sqlite
• candidates.csv

Data from http://www.iec.org.af/results/en/invalid/invalid_by_pc should be scraped and added to this repo for site usage.

The geoId columns of the 2014 provinces and districts should be verified. These files are currently part of this PR, but should soon be on master: #16

According to the documentation, the geoId column follows one of the agcho standards. Check if they match the 421 CSO that we settled on as our default.
