Entry for elections / jp

Hi @nyampire, @BobHarper1, @barthanssens

I would like to refer you to this thread where we want to gather all feedback concerning our datasets. The question basically boils down as to whether we consider data at polling station level as an optional requirement (and not as a mandatory one, as it is been done at the moment). See also an old discussion thread here.

The tenet seems to be that in many countries there are privacy concerns as well as technical mechanisms obfuscating votes on polling station level.

As outlined in our methodological notes, GODI wants to balance feasibility to produce data, with actual usability of fine-grained data. The experience so far shows us that there is a case to make that polling station level data should be provided optionally.
