Note: This table shows parameter estimates and standard errors (in parentheses) from estimating Equation (1). The dependent variable equals 1 if the individual was registered to vote and 0 if she was eligible to vote but not registered. All regressions include state-by-year fixed effects, controls for race (White, Black, Latino, Asian), educational attainment (high school graduate, some college, college graduate, post-college), whether the individual is a naturalized citizen, whether the individual is married, whether registration information is reported by self or proxy, duration at current residence (indicators for less than 1 year, 1–2 years, and 3–4 years), and own age dummies. All regressions also include indicators for children ages 7–17. Columns (2) and (4) include controls for whether the individual is in the CPS sample the year following a given election and whether the individual is in the CPS for two consecutive years. Observations are weighted using the CPS voter supplement weights. Standard errors are clustered at the state level.
