        SEE VCF0707.  SENATE DATA CODED IN SAME MANNER AS HOUSE DATA.

        1980-later cases administered without Ballot Card presentation include
        respondents who had voted outside the state of their sample selection
        location. 1980 was the first year that 'outside' voting was tracked
        and documented. [Interviews administered with Ballot Card present may
        have been preceded by a lead-in such as "Still looking at the list of
        candidates..]

        In California in 1992, in Tennessee in 1994, and in Kansas in 1996 the
        regular Senate election and a second "special" Senate election were
        held.  This variable codes data for the respondent's vote in the
        regular Senate election only.  [Note special question wording was not
        used for Tennessee in 1994; in the processing of the original 1994
        Study data, responses for the "special" Tennessee Senate election were
        ignored in coding and are not found in the 1994 Study data.]
