NOTES:

GENERAL NOTE:
Derived from: vote variable VCF0702 and registration variable 
VCF0701/VCF0737 (VCF0701 pre-election data for 1952-1976,1980; VCF0737
post-election data for 1978, 1982-later; for 1952 cases without pre-
election interviews, post-election data from VCF0737).
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.
In some years a few respondents have declared that registration was not 
required in their state; these cases have been included with 
'registered'.
2004 NOTE:
This is a summary variable of vote and registration status.
