摘要:This document describes a new dataset on women's political representation at the local level in Europe. The author collected the most recent figures on women elected at the lowest administra-tive tier in 30 countries. The contribution is here to provide, for the first time, an illustration of the variance of the share of locally elected women within these countries. The aim has been to find official figures on the share of locally elected women to obtain the most recent regional averages of women's numerical representation. Covering 329 regions, the document reports the most detailed source of data of women's local political representation available in a comparative perspective. The paper describes the procedure of the data collection, the sources used and present the dispersion of the share of elected women across the countries in focus
