Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States, Michigan
This data collection contains general election aggregate returns for each of Michigan's 6,734 precincts and absentee voter counting boards for the November 7, 1972, general election. Included are votes cast for the national offices of president, United States senator, and United States representative, the state-level offices of Michigan state representative, superintendent of the State Board of Education, Supreme Court justice, and regents for the three major state universities, as well as returns for two statewide initiatives, two amendments to the state constitution, and a statewide referendum. A set of nested geographical codes (for wards, townships or cities, and counties, in addition to precincts) permit aggregation to several levels. Present also for each precinct is the type of voting method in operation in that precinct in 1972 (paper ballot, automatic voting machine, Shoup, and data card).

Michigan Election Returns, 1978: Precinct-Level Data from the August Primary Election (ICPSR 7771)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Included in this study are the aggregate election returns for each of Michigan's more than 6,700 precincts and Absentee Voter Counting Boards for the 1978 general election. These data are essentially similar to precinct-level data obtained for previous elections and were also supplied by the Elections Division of the Michigan Department of State. For 1978, however, two separate data files have been created, one for the August 8 primary election (contained in this dataset) and one for the November 6 general election (see MICHIGAN ELECTION RETURNS, 1978: PRECINCT-LEVEL DATA FROM THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION [ICPSR 7785]). Offices voted upon in the primary election include governor, secretary of state, attorney general, United States representative, United States senator, and state senator and representative. Along with vote counts for each office, the dataset contains information on voting method (e.g., paper ballot, automatic, shoup, or data card), as well as on the county, city or township, ward, and precinct in which votes were cast. Designations for appellate court, senatorial, congressional, and state legislative districts are also included.

Record of American Democracy, 1984-1990 (ICPSR 2162)
Released/updated on: 2012-08-09
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1984-01-01--1990-01-01
The Record of American Democracy (ROAD) data provide election returns, socioeconomic summaries, and demographic details about the American public at unusually low levels of geographic aggregation. The NSF-supported ROAD project spans every state in the country from 1984 through 1990 (including some off-year elections). These data enable research on topics such as electoral behavior, the political characteristics of local community context, electoral geography, the role of minority groups in elections and legislative redistricting, split ticket voting and divided government, and elections under federalism. One set of files (Part 3, PRECINCT directory, consisting of 205 SPSS portable files) includes every election at and above state House, along with party registration and other variables, in each state for the roughly 170,000 precincts nationwide (about 60 times the number of counties). Another set of files (Part 4, MCDGRP directory, 52 SPSS portable files) has added to these roughly 30-40 political variables an additional 3,725 variables merged from the 1990 United States Census for 47,327 aggregate units called MCD groups. The MCD group is a construct for purposes of this data collection. It is based on a merging of the electoral precincts and Census Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs). A MCD is about the size of a city or town. A MCD group is smaller than or equal to a county and (except in California) is greater than or equal to the size of a MCD. The MCD group units completely tile the United States landmass. The program used to create the MCD group level is also included as part of this collection, as well as the input and output files. This collection also includes geographic boundary files (found in the BOUNDS directory, Part 2) so users can easily draw maps with these data. Complete documentation of this study can be found in HTML format in the DOCS directory (Part 1). Also, the provided "User Guide" has an abbreviated version of the codebook (one not including basic voting variable statistics) for reference.
