To vote or not to vote questionnaire:

interviewee code:

1. Do you vote?

2. Are you planning to vote in November, 2002?

2. Why, or why not?

Additional follow-up questions may be asked depending on how detailed the interviewee's answers are. Please make sure your follow-up questions are open-ended, meaning that a simple yes or no answer would be inappropriate. Try to avoid listing any reasons why people do not vote. Instead, see if those reasons are spontaneously offered by the interviewee. Possible follow-ups include:

What do you think of government?

What do you think of politicians?

What do you think a vote means?
