Abstract
This article examines age-related changing levels of voting turnout across time at the individual level. Employing the 1956–58–60 and 1972–76–76 University of Michigan Survey Research Center panel studies of the American electorate, it demonstrates that national and longitudinal data on voting turnout are available for gerontological research, and that older people do not differ substantially from members of other age groups in the durability of their voting behavior across time.Keywords
