    "additionalInfo": "This variable was imported into the OWID database from Version 8 of the V-Dem Dataset. Here is the original metadata given by the V-Dem Codebook:\n\nIndicator Name: Lower chamber elected\n\nIndicator Code: v2lgello\n\nShort definition: What percentage of the lower (or unicameral) chamber of the legislature is directly elected in popular elections?\n\nLong definition: Direct election includes seats reserved for special groups (e.g., ethnic groups or women) so long as these members are chosen by popular election. <br>Exceptions to the norm of direct election include members who are appointed, e.g., by an executive, the military, or a theocratic body, and members who are indirectly elected by local/ regional parliaments,<br> country/city councilors or similar. Thus, if 10% of a lower chamber is appointed in some fashion the correct answer to this question would be 90 %. <br><br>We are not concerned with non-voting members or with members of the legislature who do not possess the powers of most legislators.\n\nResponses: Percent.\n\nData release: 1-8.\n\n",
