Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Does vote by mail increase turnout? Scholars (Kousser and Mullin 2007) point out that sample selection problems in the early work on vote by mail make extension of results problematic. In this study we take advantage of a natural experiment following the same voters to ascertain the individual-level effects on turnout when voters are assigned to mandatory mail-ballot precincts. We hypothesize that mandatory vote by mail lowers the cost of voting and increases turnout. This project analyzed panel data of validated individual voter records across four elections in California from 2006 to 2008 while controlling for contextual factors. Using weighted least squares logit models for analysis of the validated records of all mail ballot precinct voters in five counties we can more accurately estimate the impact of vote by mail across voter stratifications and populations. Individual level work using panel data has not been done since Berinsky et al (2001) did using only Oregon data from 1994-1996; furthermore, in that study the sample n was only 811 voters; this proposal analyzed the behavior of more than 50,000 voters.
