This database is related to the voter turnout in five election cycles (2001, 2005, 2009, 2013 and 2017). The data was used in the original in the article "The effects of amalgamations on voter turnout: Evidence from sub-municipal governments in Portugal" (DOI: 10.1016/j.cities.2020.102685). The evolution of turnout in Portuguese sub-municipal units (SMUs) has followed the trend of western democracies and recorded a continuous drop. The 2013 territorial reform of SMUs contributed to the increment of the gap of electors that choose not to cast a vote in the elections. Data provides further details on how the territorial reform had an impact on the level of electoral participation. It also adds data on SMUs turnout divided by type and whether or not SMUs were merged.
该数据库与五个选举周期（2001年、2005年、2009年、2013年和2017年）的选民投票率相关。这些数据最初用于文章《合并对选民投票率的影响：来自葡萄牙市政府下属单位的证据》（DOI：10.1016/j.cities.2020.102685）。葡萄牙市政府下属单位（SMUs）投票率的演变遵循了西方民主国家的趋势，并持续下降。2013年SMUs的领土改革导致了在选举中选择不投票的选民差距增大。数据提供了关于领土改革如何影响选举参与水平的进一步细节。它还增加了按类型划分的SMUs投票率数据，以及SMUs是否合并的数据。
