Candidate Identifier

[cstock27]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a column with candidate name to the table from the below code, using the 'numero_candidato' field.

fed_dep_vote <- get_votes(year=2014, position="Federal Deputy", regional_aggregation = "Municipality")

However, this field is not unique. When, for example, the above table says that candidate with number 1555 has received 300 votes in Municipality X in 2014, could you please explain what this represents? There are 20 different deputies with number 1555 - so could you please let me know if the get_votes table shows the total votes for all of these 20 candidates in a single row?

Many thanks
