Hi,

I am trying to add a column with candidate name to the below table, using the numero_candidado field:

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

However, the field in not unique. For example there are 20 different deputies with numero_candidado = 1555. Each row in the get_votes table displays votes for each numero_candidado in a municipality - so could you please explain what this represents?

Many thanks!
