Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In addition to developing a set of civic skills that make it easier to write letters to Congress, volunteer for campaigns, and attend demonstrations, engagement and recruitment are important explanatory factors in political participation (Verba, Schlozman and Brady 1995). While the Voice and Equality data extensively tests the impact of this model in self-reported acts of political participation, little work has extended the theory to official validated records of voter participation, especially among Latino and Asian American voters. This paper argues that Latinos and Asian Americans will be more likely to be psychologically engaged and recruited where more Latino and Asian American candidates are on the ballot, which in turn will result in a greater likelihood of voting. Using individual level data for the universe of more than 5 million registered voters in Los Angeles and Orange counties, we estimate probit models for voter turnout in the November 2002 general election. We introduce a unique measure for engagement and recruitment: the number of Latino and Asian American candidates that appear on the ballot for all levels of office in the two counties, providing a unique count of the number of Latinos and Asian Americans each voter had the opportunity to elect (engagement) and be contacted by (recruitment). Using these variables as proxies for engagement and recruitment, we find that the probability of Latino and Asian American voting increases as the number of co-ethnic candidates on the ballot increases. For both Asian Americans and Latinos, the effect is stronger among foreign-born naturalized voters.
