Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Past research has suggested that voting is a habit that is learned (or not) during a formative period in the life of young adults. Learning to vote is also costly, and the costs paid by young adults depend in part on the situation in which they find themselves during the critical first few elec-tions at which they are old enough to vote. The suggestion has been made that what matters primarily is the extent to which young adults are engaged in social networks that will mobilize them politically and give their votes value. This paper develops the theoretical basis for the conjecture and designs an indirect test that investigates the effect of length of residence on the turnout of young adults. The test is performed in the context of a model that gives primacy to the role of new electoral cohorts in effecting turnout change – a model that focuses on the motiva-tions that young adults have to turn out, including motivations deriving from the nature of the electoral contest, using survey and aggregate data for U.S. presidential elections since 1964. The findings show that individuals respond to variations in the competitiveness of elections and also to particularities of their social situation that are presumed to make them more or less susceptible to the mobilizing influence of family, friends, and acquaintances.
