Note:  The old weighting system is based on a weight of 1.0 for women's voter registration, women's voter turnout, and women's institutional resources and a weight of 3.0 for women in elected office.  In 2000, IWPR increased the weight of women in elected office to 4.0.  The new system is based on that weight.
