The layout (one row per respondent, ranking and marked position; resp the position as recorded, 1 = first choice; item a candidate code c01, c02, … or a reserved value) is defined in the IRW rankings standard. Skipped positions are gaps and duplicate marks are kept, so compress with irw_rank_compress() / irw.rank_compress() before a person-by-item pivot.
Or load it directly in R or Python (both need a free Redivis account; the first call opens a browser to sign in):
# R
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("itemresponsewarehouse/Rpkg")
library(irw)
df <- irw_fetch("rcv_burlington_20060307_mayor", source = "rank")
# Python
pip install irw
import irw
df = irw.fetch("rcv_burlington_20060307_mayor", source="rank")
