ces: Access to Canadian Election Study Data

Provides tools to easily access and analyze Canadian Election Study data. The package simplifies the process of downloading, cleaning, and using 'CES' datasets for political science research and analysis. The Canadian Election Study ('CES') has been conducted during federal elections since 1965, surveying Canadians on their political preferences, engagement, and demographics. Data is accessed from multiple sources including the 'Borealis' Data repository <https://borealisdata.ca/> and the official 'Canadian Election Study' website <https://ces-eec.arts.ubc.ca/>. This package is not officially affiliated with the Canadian Election Study, 'Borealis' Data, or the University of British Columbia, and users should cite the original data sources in their work.
