Abstract

The creation of the database of electoral and non-electoral political careers aims to contribute to the standardization in linking legislative and electoral databases. The goal is to unify the databases of legislative and electoral studies through a unique code for each politician to chart their career paths. This association is fundamental to the evaluation of the career of the politicians and their actions in the legislature as a result of the election results observed.
