About this resource (click to expand)

Each zip archive contains the legislation governing municipal boundary changes for a given country and year pair, as recorded in the Border Changes Dataset.

Files are named using the case_id convention from that dataset — so if you spot a change of interest there, you can come back here and download the corresponding legislation directly.
