Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This research examines the strategic nature of voter mobilization. Specifically, I examine the effect of local contextual factors on the voter mobilization strategies that parties, interest groups, and campaigns employ. Because of the existence of multiple races and varying partisan and demographic patterns at the local level, I argue that local party competitiveness has a positive influence on the probability that one is contacted to vote by political elites. Using a combination of individual level party contacting data from the American National Election Studies and county level vote returns from 1964 to 1992, I show that strategic parties focus much of their efforts on contacting voters in party competitive counties.
