DOES ECONOMIC ADVERSITY AFFECT WHETHER PEOPLE VOTE? DATA FROM THE NOVEMBER 1974 CURRENT POPULATION SURVEY ARE USED TO ESTIMATE THE EFFECT THAT UNEMPLOYMENT, POVERTY, AND A DECLINE IN FINANCIAL WELL-BEING HAVE ON VOTER TURNOUT. THESE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL FINDINGS ARE CORROBORATED WITH AGGREGATE TIME-SERIES DATA FROM PRESIDENTIAL AND MIDTERM ELECTIONS SINCE 1896.
