Abstract

Since the formation of the database of legislative studies, the link with electoral databases is done in a non-systematic way. The codes used to identify the deputies and senators should be linked to the urn numbers, basic code used in the databases with the election results. The possibility of realizing this union is given by the use of the voters' title of each of the politicians involved. This association is fundamental so that it is possible to evaluate the career of the politicians and their actions in the legislature as a result of the electoral results observed.
