        VOTE VALIDATION STUDY:

        DOES RECORD CHECK INDICATE THAT R VOTED?
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        SEE GENERAL NOTE VCF9149.

        SEE NOTES VCF9152.

        NOTE:  Code 3 and code 5 include cases of limited access to vote
        records (codes 2 and 5 in VCF9153).  Codes 3 and 5 also incorporate
        1984 and 1990 cases of attempted validation by phone of Rs registered
        out of area (998 in VCF9149).

        In cases where registration is not required or where voting and
        registration lists are for some reason kept entirely separate, this
        code implies that an independent check for voting was also done and no
        record of R voting was found.

        In all presidential years except 1964 (and some cases in 1976), this
        variable includes in valid codes respondents who did not give a post-
        election interview.

        1964 and 1980 are the only years with cases categorized for same-day
        registration.  Registration was not 'checked' in such cases but voting
        records WERE checked (4 in VCF9152 and [1980] 1 in VCF9153).  The
        results of the vote record checks for "same-day registration" Rs in
        1964 and 1980 are represented here in codes 1 (voted) and 3 (did not
        vote), with nocases of same-day registration coded 5.

        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 VCF9151,9152,9154,9155, 1976 prepost Rs who did
        not also participate in the panel study are INAP.

               1.  YES
               3.  REGISTRATION RECORD WAS FOUND, NO RECORD OF R VOTING
               5.  NO REGISTRATION RECORD FOUND; NO RECORD OF VOTING FOUND

               0.  INAP, 3,7 in VCF9152 (all years); 2 in VCF9152 (1984-1990
                   only); 5 in VCF9152 (1964,1976); 5 in VCF9152 or 8 in
                   VCF9153 (1980 only)
               9.  INAP, question not used; 1976 non-panel Rs
