California Voter Participation Survey

In the summer of 2004, the California Voter Foundation (CVF) conducted a statewide survey of 2,000 Californians to assess the barriers and incentives for voter participation in California, with a particular focus on groups that are currently underrepresented in the electorate.

The survey was conducted by David Binder Research and included two kinds of eligible voters:  registered, infrequent voters who have voted in one or none of the last four elections; and unregistered, eligible voters. This project is funded with a grant from The James Irvine Foundation.
