Abstract

Studies on the geographical concentration of votes in Brazil have used numerous indicators to measure this phenomenon. Despite a recent methodological consolidation on the best choices of indicators, there are no studies that systematically evaluate these findings using the same indicator. This research will compile these indicators, collect data used in previous studies, and replicate them using the same indicator to evaluate these findings. Keywords:Electoral Geography.
