abstract: Provides tools to download comprehensive datasets of local, state, and federal
  election results in Germany from 1990 to 2021. The package facilitates access to
  data on turnout, vote shares for major parties, and demographic information across
  different levels of government (municipal, state, and federal). It offers access
  to geographically harmonized datasets that account for changes in municipal boundaries
  over time and incorporate mail-in voting districts. Users can easily retrieve, clean,
  and standardize German electoral data, making it ready for analysis. Data is sourced
  from <http://www.german-elections.com>.
