abstract: Provides tools to easily access and analyze Canadian Election Study data.
  The package simplifies the process of downloading, cleaning, and using 'CES' datasets
  for political science research and analysis. The Canadian Election Study ('CES')
  has been conducted during federal elections since 1965, surveying Canadians on their
  political preferences, engagement, and demographics. Data is accessed from multiple
  sources including the 'Borealis' Data repository <https://borealisdata.ca/> and
  the official 'Canadian Election Study' website <https://ces-eec.arts.ubc.ca/>. This
  package is not officially affiliated with the Canadian Election Study, 'Borealis'
  Data, or the University of British Columbia, and users should cite the original
  data sources in their work.
