Registration and turnout summary · Asked in 26 waves, 1952–2024 · 58,470 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Dropped only in years where the codebook names a design split (alternate form, half sample, abbreviated or web instrument): 0 in 1960, 1972. Kept and flagged: 0 (other_missing). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: Derived from: vote variable VCF0702 and registration variable VCF0701/VCF0737 (VCF0701 pre-election data for 1952-1976,1980; VCF0737 post-election data for 1978, 1982-later; for 1952 cases without pre- election interviews, post-election data from VCF0737). All respondents who reported voting have been coded 3, regardless of whether they actually reported being registered. No registration variable at all was present in 1958,1962,1966,1970 or 1974. In some years a few respondents have declared that registration was not required in their state; these cases have been included with ‘registered’. 2004 NOTE: This is a summary variable of vote and registration status.
