Details

The Central Election Commission publishes election results (for both general and EP elections). Each election instance, however, has its own web page and there is no central starting point where you could find all results together.

I was not sure if the dataset qualifies as machine-readable -- the situation varies in every case with most results available as HTML tables located on multiple web pages:

• 12th Saeima election (the most recent general election) results are published as XML: http://sv2014.cvk.lv/index_rez.html
• 2014 European Parliament election results are published as HTML tables only: http://ep2014.cvk.lv/index_rez.html
• 11th Saeima election results are published are published as HTML tables only: http://www.cvk.lv/cgi-bin/wdbcgiw/base/Saeima11.GalRez_s11
• the formats of earlier election results vary, but are either HTML tables (semi-machine-readable) or not machine-readable
