We collected and formatted the minutes of plenary sessions held between April 2019 and March 2023 from 47 prefectural assemblies across Japan to construct the Prefectural Assembly Minutes 2019-term Dataset. This dataset is organized by speaker name, with publicly available election-time information assigned as speaker attributes for assembly members. This paper provides an overview of the dataset by comparing it with the previously constructed 2011- and 2015-term datasets, analyzing assembly member composition, utterance volume, and characteristic words identified using TF-IDF.
