In this paper, we investigate the application of descriptive data mining techniques, namely subgroup discovery, for the purpose of the ad-hoc analysis of election results. Our inquiry is based on the 2009 German federal Bundestag election (restricted to the City of Cologne) and additional socio-economic information about Cologne’s polling districts. The task is to describe relations between socio-economic variables and the votes in order to summarize interesting aspects of the voting behavior. Motivated by the specific challenges of election data analysis we propose novel quality functions and visualizations for subgroup discovery.
