This statistic shows the share of voters in North Carolina in the 2016 presidential election, by age and voter registration status. In that year, ***** percent of voters aged 60 to 69 were registered to vote, but did not vote in the election.

North Carolina Voter Registration Data. Visit https://dataone.org/datasets/sha256%3A7ccf74aed9e858b46b6aadfc4611ba17e5c00740a29969b706dec1fe87d0514a for complete metadata about this dataset.

Context

This is a dataset of all 583 North Carolina County Commissioners. It is current as of June 18, 2018.

I took a database of North Carolina candidate listings and manually paired it down to just the current county commissioners. I researched new appointments to vacant seats. Then I cross-referenced the list with the state voter registration database.

Content

Since the data comes from 2 different sources, I noted, when necessary, when a variable came from the voter registration database (VR) or the candidate listing (CL). A candidate may use a campaign office address, for example, on the candidate listing but use a PO Box and/or home address on their voter registration.

VR - data from voting record. CL - information from a FOIA'd candidate listing + manual research

Acknowledgements

This is a combination of a (https://github.com/Open-NC/Are-We-Represented/issues/6) dataset of candidate listings that was FOIA-d by Code for America volunteers in North Carolina as well as the public voter registration database made available by the North Carolina State Board of Elections https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/data/ncvoter_Statewide.zip.

Context

This is part of the voter file verified by the North Carolina State Board of Elections. It includes the registered voters, but not the voting history.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections updates this data everyday. See https://dl.ncsbe.gov/ for the original files. Feel free to post questions here and I can try to answer them. I'm not certain as to what obligation the BOE has to provide technical support for this file

**Note on timeline of this data's collection: ** I specified the "Temporal coverage" as 1900-01-01 to 2020-02-29. The last date is correct, but I don't know the specific date for first value. I believe it would be the time of registration for the longest registered voter (without updates or re-registration) that the BOE cannot verify is dead. The specific designation has been highly politicized by voter suppression efforts of the last two decades. One would likely need to contact the BOE (or have a specialized law degree) to determine how that date is constructed, let alone to verify it.

Comprehensive dataset containing 28 verified Voter registration office businesses in South Carolina, United States with complete contact information, ratings, reviews, and location data.

The Statistical Abstract is the Nation's best known and most popular single source of statistics on the social, political, and economic organization of the country. The print version of this reference source has been published since 1878 while the compact disc version first appeared in 1993. This disc is designed to serve as a convenient, easy-to-use statistical reference source and guide to statistical publications and sources. The disc contains over 1,400 tables from over 250 different gove rnmental, private, and international organizations. The 1998 Statistical Abstract on CD-ROM, like the book, is a statistical reference and guide to over 250 statistical publications and sources from government and private organizations. This compact disc (CD) has 1,500 tables and charts from over 250 sources. Text and tables can be viewed or searched with the software. Tables and charts cover these subjects in 31 sections and 2 appendices: Population, Vital Statistics, Health and Nutrition, Education, Law Enforcement, Courts and Prisons, Geography and Environment, Parks, Recreation and Travel, Elections, State and Local Government, Finances and Employment, Federal Government, Finances and Employment, National Defense and Veterans Affairs, Social Insurance and Human Services, Labor Force, Employment and Earnings, Income, Expenditure and Wealth, Prices, Banking, Finance and Insurance, Business Enterprise, Communications, Energy, Science, Transportation -- Land, Transportation -- Air and Water, Agriculture, Forests and Fisheries, Mining and Mineral Products, Construction and Housing, Manufactures, Domestic Trade and Services, Foreign Commerce and Aid, Outlying Areas, Comparative International Statistics, State Rankings, Population of MSAs, Congressional District Profiles. There are changes this year in both the content of the information on the disc and software used for accessing and installing the information. As usual, updates have been made to most of the more than 1,500 tables and charts that were on the previous disc with new or more recent data. The spreadsheet files which are available in both the Excel or Lotus formats for these ta bles will usually have more information than displayed in the book or Adobe Acrobat files. There are also 93 new tables on such subjects as family planning, women's health, persons with disabilities, health insurance coverage, ambulatory surgery, school violence, household use of public libraries, public library of the Internet, toxic chemical releases, leisure activity, NCAA sports and high school athletic programs, voter registration, licensed child care centers, foster care, home-based businesses, employee benefits, home equity debt, use of debit credit cards, alcohol-related fatal accidents, computer shipments, and foreign stock market indices. See Appendix V on the disc for a complete list of the new tables presented. In the software area, a new opening screen using the DemoShield software has been added. This provide better access to the electronic version of the booklet which is available from the opening screen, the new tutorial step the user through the principal ways to search for information on this disc and other related helpful information. It will also facilitate the installation process for the Adobe Acrobat Reader, the new Microsoft Excel Viewer, and QuickTime for viewing movies. The Adobe Acrobat Reader and Search engine, version 3.01, is on the disc. The Acrobat Reader allows users to view, navigate, search, and print on demand any of the pages from the book. Note to Users: This CD is part of a collection located in the Data Archive of the Odum Institute for Research in Social Science, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The collection is located in Room 10, Manning Hall. Users may check the CDs out subscribing to the honor system. Items can be checked out for a period of two weeks.

We provide datasets that that estimate the racial distributions associated with first, middle, and last names in the United States. The datasets cover five racial categories: White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Other. The provided data are computed from the voter files of six Southern states -- Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina -- that collect race and ethnicity data upon registration. We include seven voter files per state, sourced between 2018 and 2021 from L2, Inc. Together, these states have approximately 36MM individuals who provide self-reported race and ethnicity. The last name datasets includes 338K surnames, while the middle name dictionaries contains 126K middle names and the first name datasets includes 136K first names. For each type of name, we provide a dataset of P(race | name) probabilities and P(name | race) probabilities. We include only names that appear at least 25 times across the 42 (= 7 voter files * 6 states) voter files in our dataset. These data are closely related to the the dataset: "Name Dictionaries for "wru" R Package", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/7TRYAC. These are the probabilities used in the latest iteration of the "WRU" package (Khanna et al., 2022) to make probabilistic predictions about the race of individuals, given their names and geolocations.
