Countours of legislative constituencies

To build this data, we used these two sources:

— Contours of municipalities provided by IGN/GEOFLA
— Correspondence between districts and municipalities, provided by the Ministry of the Interior

Data format

— code_circonscription: the code of the department the circumscription number, e.g.: 69002
— department: the code of the department, e.g. 69
— number: the constituency number, e.g. 2,
— municipalities: INSEE codes of municipalities which are (entirely or partially) in the district, separated by the character ‘-’. e.g.: 69382-69381-69384-69389
— kml_shape: polygon(s) of the constituency, in KML format
— edited_shape: ‘false’ if the contour is simply a grouping of the contours of municipalities. ‘True’ if we edited it.
