        This is a post var.  For the pre version, see VCF0701.  (See *note,
        VCF0013,VCF0014 describing status of 1954 minor study).

        This question was asked of non-voters and, except for 1982, was also
        asked of Rs who did not know whether they voted.  In all years, if it
        was NA whether R voted, this question was not asked.

        Because it was assumed that voters (or Rs who reported having voted)
        were registered, they have been coded 1 here.

        A few Rs declared they were not required to register and are coded 9.

        In 1952, 22 cases were actually verified to be situated in localities
        where registration was not necessary.  These 1952 cases have been
        coded 1.

             1.   No
             2.   Yes (includes Rs who reported voting)
