This report summarizes Current Population Survey results on voting and registration in the 1964-80 Presidential election years and identifies the principal trends in voter behavior during those years. More detailed information on the social and economic characteristics of voters and nonvoters in each of the election years are published in the Current Population Reports Series P-20 (Nos. 143, 192, 253, 322, and 370).
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
