dc.descriptionThis project has established a unique database of local elections results in Great Britain. The database contains data for the period of the twentieth century before wholesale local government reorganisation in 1973. It also links the existing English, Welsh and Scottish local election databases. Until now, these results had never been collated together, let alone transformed into machine-readable form.<br> <br>en
