NOTES:

GENERAL NOTE:
This question refers to the Presidential election preceding the current 
year.
In 1952-1960,1964-1972,1976,1980, if R answered the filter, "In the 
elections for president since you have been old enough to vote, would 
you say that you have voted in all of them, most of them, some of them, 
or none of them?" with "none of them" or answered that s/he was never 
before able to vote because s/he was previously not a citizen or old 
enough, then this question was not asked.  
In 1956, 1960, 1976 and 1980, if it was NA whether R had ever voted,
then this question was not asked.  In 1968, if R DK whether R had ever 
voted, then this question was not asked.
In 1962, 1982, 1988, 1990 and 1992 no filter was used, but Rs who did
not vote in the previous presidential election because of age or
citizenship ineligibility (or for any other reason) were simply coded
"did not vote".
In 1956, 1958, 1960, and 1964 the study  documentation stated that 
residents of Washington D.C. were INAP; however, in the data, it 
some Washington D.C. residents were INAP while others were not.
1952 NOTE 1:
Code 9 contains 9 cases of respondents who replied that they "thought" 
they had voted Democratic in 1948 and 3 cases of respondents who 
replied that they "thought" they had voted Republican in 1948.  
1952 NOTE 2:
In the original 1952 dataset, 1948 presidential votes for two
specified nonmajor party candidates were individually coded, and there
also appeared a combination category labeled "other or NA or DK who"
(9 cases).  Rs who said they had voted for the specified nonmajor
party candidates in 1948 have been coded 5 here, while Rs from the
combination category of the original 1952 dataset have been coded 3
here.
1956 NOTE:
All cases (unknown number) of Rs who only "thought" they voted for any 
particular candidate in 1952 were combined with other missing data:  
these cases are coded 9 here.
