Description: Provides tools to download datasets of German elections
    covering local, state, federal, mayoral, European Parliament, and county
    (Kreistag) elections, with federal county-level coverage from 1953 and
    other families extending through 2025. The package supplies turnout, vote
    shares, and derived indicators at the municipal and county level, including
    geographically harmonized datasets that account for changes in municipal
    boundaries over time and incorporate mail-in voting districts. Bundled data
    includes county-level INKAR covariates (1995-2022) and municipality-level
    Zensus 2022 indicators. Data is sourced from
    <https://github.com/awiedem/german_election_data>.
