Vote Shares
by Bloc These are the percentages of the vote won by parties in various

the same data documented in "A Classification of Latin American Political

and used in "The
Dynamic Diversity of Latin American Party Systems."
A copy of the working paper may be obtained free of charge at the Kellogg
Institute website.
