        SUMMARY:  DID R REGISTER AND VOTE
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        Derived from:
          VCF0702          vote variable and
          VCF0701/VCF0737  registration variable

        (VCF0701 pre-election var for 1952-1976,1980; VCF0737, post-election
        var for 1978, 1982-later).

        For 1952 cases without pre-election interviews, post-election data
        from VCF0737 have been used.

        All respondents who reported voting have been coded 3, regardless of
        whether they actually reported being registered.  No registration
        variable at all was present in 1958, 1962, 1966, 1970 or 1974.

        Note that in some years a few respondents have declared that
        registration was not required in their state; these cases have been
        included with 'registered' in the recode.

            1.  Not registered, and did not vote
            2.  Registered, but did not vote
            3.  Voted (registered)
