Abstract | Objective. Disability affects resources and other factors associated with political participation. This study examines the relative importance of these factors by analyzing voter turnout among people with disabilities. Methods. This study uses the Current Population Survey and a survey of people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), with data on 1992 presidential election voter turnout. It compares voting rates and determinants between the general population and people with SCI, and links voter turnout to disability characteristics. Results. Voter turnout among people with SCI was 10 percentage points lower than among otherwise-similar people in the general population. Employed people with SCI were just as likely as other employed people to vote, while turnout was strongly depressed among the two-thirds of people with SCI who were not employed. Within the SCI sample, turnout was higher among people who are able to drive and who attend religious services, and was not affected by severity of injury. Conclusions. The results highlight the importance of employment and general mobility for voter turnout. Further research on the low turnout of nonemployed people with disabilities is warranted. Future turnout levels will probably be affected by the success of the ADA and other policies in increasing employment of the one in five Americans with disabilities. |

AbstractList | Disability affects resources and other factors associated with political participation. This study examines the relative importance of these factors by analyzing voter turnout among people with disabilities. This study uses the Current Population Survey and a survey of people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), with data on 1992 presidential election voter turnout. Objective: Disability affects resources and other factors associated with political participation. This study examines the relative importance of these factors by analyzing voter turnout among people with disabilities. Methods: This study uses the Current Population Survey and a survey of people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), with data on 1992 presidential election voter turnout. It compares voting rates and determinants between the general population and people with SCI, and links voter turnout to disability characteristics. Results: Voter turnout among people with SCI was 10 percentage points lower than among otherwise-similar people in the general population. Employed people with SCI were just as likely as other employed people to vote, while turnout was strongly depressed among the two-thirds of people with SCI who were not employed. Within the SCI sample, turnout was higher among people who are able to drive and who attend religious services, and was not affected by severity of injury. Conclusions: The results highlight the importance of employment and general mobility for voter turnout. Further research on the low turnout of nonemployed people with disabilities is warranted. Future turnout levels will probably be affected by the success of the ADA and other policies in increasing employment of the one in five Americans with disabilities. Analyzes voter turnout in the 1992 presidential elections among people with disabilities, based on data from the Current Population Survey (N = 93,992 citizens) & a survey of people with spinal cord injuries ([SCI] N = 312). Voting rates & determinants are compared between the general population & people with SCI, & voter turnout is linked to disability characteristics. Results show that voter turnout among people with SCI was 10 % points lower than among otherwise similar people in the general population. Employed people with SCI were just as likely as other employed people to vote, while turnout was strongly depressed among the 66% of people with SCI who were not employed. Within the SCI sample, turnout was higher among people who are able to drive & who attend religious services, & was not affected by severity of injury. The findings highlight the importance of employment & general mobility for voter turnout. Future turnout levels will probably be affected by the success of the Americans with Disabilities Act & other policies in increasing employment of the 20% of Americans with disabilities. 3 Tables, 23 References. Adapted from the source document. Uses the Current Population Survey and a survey of people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), with data on 1992 presidential election voter turnout. Compares voting rates and determinants between the general population and people with SCI, and links voter turnout to disability characteristics. Voter turnout among people with SCI was 10 percentage points lower than among otherwise-similar people in the general population.

Results highlight the importance of employment and general mobility for voter turnout. (Original abstract - amended) |
