Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Most of the recent literature that investigates turnout and voter mobilization finds little or no impact on turnout as a result of get-out-the-vote phone drives. This paper describes two field experiments embedded within get-out-the-vote phone drives conducted in the San Francisco Bay Area in November 2002, both of which focused on new registrants. One of the drives was explicitly partisan (Democratic), and the other was strictly non-partisan. These experiments were designed to investigate whether get-out-the-vote phone drives are effective tools for increasing turnout. The partisan get-out-the-vote phone calls had no detectable effect on voter turnout. There was a positive effect on turnout from non-partisan calls, but it was only effective on Democratic registrants, and then only when the caller was representing a local organization, rather than a national one. The overall results raise continued questions about the efficacy of registration movements. The surprising finding regarding new Democratic registrants may provide insight on different dimensions of voters� party identification worthy of future research.
