Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined: (1) why voter turnout in the United States was low compared to other democracies; (2) why U.S. voter turnout has been declining since 1960; and (3) what election procedures and informational activities were associated with higher levels of voter participation. GAO found that: (1) comparatively low American voter turnout was not the consequence of political alienation, but international differences in the characteristics of political parties and election procedures; (2) U.S. political parties were not closely linked with specific interest groups and social categories, as in other countries, and consequently election results did not make a difference in the lives of individual voters; (3) the absence of penalties for not voting and the fact that citizens must assume the responsibility of registering to vote were other explanations given for comparatively low U.S. voter turnout; (4) turnout differences between states resulted from demographic composition of the electorate and different electoral rules; (5) all-mail ballot elections led to a 20- to 40-percent point increase in turnout and cost 32 percent less than conventional elections; (6) voter information activities did not generally increase voter turnout and low-turnout states were more likely to run such campaigns than high-turnout states; (7) states that mailed information to households, provided toll-free phone numbers for voters, and held mock elections in high schools experienced a substantially lower decline in voter turnout between 1980 and 1988; (8) making registration convenient and holding information campaigns stressing how to register and vote were especially effective in increasing turnout; and (9) voter information campaigns stressing civic duty, transporting voters to the polls, operating child care centers, and telephoning voters were not effective.

Download or read book American Voter Turnout written by David Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a combination of existing and original research, this new text provides a simple explanation for the low turnout in American elections: rather than creating an environment conducive to participation, the institutional arrangements that govern structure participation, representation, and actual governance in the United States create an environment that discourages widespread participation. To explore this argument, the author examines the origins and development of registration laws, single-member districts, such as the Electoral College, and the separation of powers and the impact these institutions have on turnout levels in American national elections. To this end, the text employs a narrative discussing the impact of institutions on turnout in the United States and across nations, supported with extensive yet accessible data analysis. Hill not only provides students with explanations for the low turnout characteristic of American elections, but also demonstrates the powerful impact of institutions on political life.
