        For 1952 cases without pre-election interviews, post-election data

        All respondents who reported voting have been coded 3, regardless of  
        whether they actually reported being registered.  No registration     
        variable at all was present in 1958, 1962, 1966, 1970 or 1974.        
                                                                              
        Note that in some years a few respondents have declared that          
        registration was not required in their state; these cases have been   
        included with 'registered' in the recode.
