Description: Provides tools to download datasets of German elections
    covering local, state, federal, mayoral, 'Landrat', European Parliament, and
    county (Kreistag) elections from 1945 to 2026; coverage varies by election
    type. 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 (1995-2023) and municipality-level
    Zensus 2022 indicators. Data is sourced from
    <https://github.com/awiedem/german_election_data>.
