cpsvote: A Toolbox for Using the CPS’s Voting and Registration Supplement

Provides automated methods for downloading, recoding, and merging selected years of the Current Population Survey's Voting and Registration Supplement <https://www.nber.org/research/data/current-population-survey-cps-supplements-voting-and-registration>, a large N national survey about registration, voting, and non-voting in United States federal elections. Provides documentation for appropriate use of sample weights to generate statistical estimates, drawing from Hur & Achen (2013) <doi:10.1093/poq/nft042> and McDonald (2018) <https://www.electproject.org/election-data/voter-turnout-data>.

Background Information and Context
Why EVIC Created cpsvote | Using the CPS Voting and Registration Supplement: Methodological and Data Challenges | Challenge 1: The Survey Content, Column Names, and Coding Change Over Time | Challenge 2: Survey Weights Are a Necessity When Using the Voting and Registration Supplement | Challenge 3: CPS Makes Idiosyncratic Coding Choices for Voter Turnout, and Turnout Estimates Are Biased | Sample Usage: Varying Estimates of Voter Turnout in 2020 | More Resources
