        VOTE VALIDATION STUDY:

        DOES RECORD CHECK INDICATE THAT R IS REGISTERED?
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        SEE GENERAL NOTE VCF9149.

        SEE NOTES VCF9152.

        Note that information describing status [code 2] of non-active files
        was not collected systematically before 1984.  Non-active-
        registration  cases prior to 1984 appear in either code 1 or code 5,
        with the following exceptions:  in 1978, original var 1408 indicated
        whether registration records were eligible/active on election day (or
        ineligible/inactive); 53 cases of inactive registration in 1978 have
        been coded 2.  Similarly, in 1976,  original var 5003 indicated a
        registration record but inactive for 70 cases, who have been coded 2
        in VCF9154.

        Code 1 includes several cases identified as 'registration record
        found, NA if active/inactive' (applies specifically to 1988,1990).

        Code 2 for 1990 includes 1 case of "other" inactive file and 2 cases
        of "NA" type of inactive file.

        Only 1976 time-series respondents who also participated in the 1972-
        1974-1976 panel study (ICPSR 7607) were included in 1976 vote
        validation.  In vars 9151,9152,9154,9155, 1976 prepost Rs who did not
        also participate in the panel study are INAP.
