In the US, there is wide variation from state to state in the
institutional arrangements - for example, registration laws - that
structure the environment in which citizens decide whether to vote
and parties decide whom to mobilize. This has important
consequences for who gets elected and the policies they enact. In
this book Michael Hanmer argues that to understand how these
institutional arrangements affect outcomes, it is necessary to
consider the interactions between social and political context and
these laws. He tests this theory by examining how the factors that
influence the adoption of a set of registration laws affect
turnout, the composition of the electorate, and party strategies.
His multi-method research design demonstrates that the effect of
registration laws is not as profound as either reformers would hope
or previous studies suggest, especially when reform is a response
to federal legislation. He concludes by arguing for a shift in the
approach to increasing turnout.
