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): 9 in 1984. Kept and flagged: 9 (other_missing). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: This is a post var. For the pre version, see VCF0701. This question was asked of non-voters and, except for 1982, was also asked of Rs who did not know whether they voted. A few Rs declared they were not required to register and are coded 9. Beginning in 2012, respondents were asked where they were registered in both the Pre and Post. Summary registration status for these years can be found in VCF0703.
