GENERAL NOTE:
Note that information describing status [code 2] of non-active files
was not collected systematically before 1984.  Non-active-
registration  cases prior to 1984 appear in either code 1 or code 5,
with the following exceptions:  in 1978, original var 1408 indicated
whether registration records were eligible/active on election day (or
ineligible/inactive); 53 cases of inactive registration in 1978 have
been coded 2.  Similarly, in 1976,  original var 5003 indicated a
registration record but inactive for 70 cases, who have been coded 2
in VCF9154.
Code 1 includes several cases identified as 'registration record
found, NA if active/inactive' (applies specifically to 1988,1990).
Code 2 for 1990 includes 1 case of "other" inactive file and 2 cases
of "NA" type of inactive file.
1976 NOTE:
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 9151,9152,9154,9155, 1976 prepost Rs who did not
also participate in the panel study are INAP.
