I'm looking for election data for Israel since the 1980s that disaggregates party votes by region. I want to use this for a subnational analysis of voter trends, with a focus on the evolution of Arab Israeli parties. Thanks.
Thought for sure someone might have answered this by now. Perhaps it is because nobody has found exactly what you are looking for, but fortunately, I was able to contact another research librarian. This is what she provided me:
A publication from the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics called "The Statistical Abstract," which is published annually. It goes back to 1996. The link to it is here: http://www.cbs.gov.il/reader/ shnatonenew_site.htm
The librarian I contacted even offered helpful tips on how to get to the information. It may be helpful to read the following as you explore the site:
"To get to the election information, in the “choose subject” drop-down, I chose “10. Government and Local Authorities”, then “continue”. Then a series of tables will be displayed. I was looking at “election results for the 19th Knesset, by type of locality."
I attached a file of a screen shot of the categories of information you will find at this site. You will notice that you are able to download an Excel spreadsheet of the data found here. If you really need election data that goes back to 1980, I would first start by contacting the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. You can e-mail the bureau at [email protected].
Hope that helps!
Actually, that link only gives 20th Knesset data, and I couldn't see any way to get older data.
