Daniel A. Smith , professor and chair, department of political science at the University of Florida, will present a talk about the effects of on-campus early in -person voting on Thursday, Feb. 6 at 4:00 p.m. in 302 Pond Lab.

M ight additional opportunities to cast a ballot increase the probability that an individual turns out to vote? Might the added convenience of in- person early voting shift the method or timing of when a registrant cast s a ballot? Scholars disagree over whether or not convenience voting bol sters turnout, or even if it alters the method of voting. We argue that the targeted adoption of early in-person voting on the campuses of publi c colleges and universities in Florida in the 2018 General Election lowe red the barriers of casting a ballot, thereby increasing the turnout of young registrants in the counties that adopted the policy. Drawing on in dividual-level election administration data and offering a series of mod els (difference-in-differences (DD), difference-in-differences-in-differ ences (DDD), and matching combined with difference-in-differences), we e stimate the effect of the expansion of early in-person voting on eight c ampuses in Florida. We find consistent evidence that the adoption of on- campus early voting not only made it more likely that young registrants turned out to vote, but that it also shifted the timing of when these ty pically low propensity voters cast their ballot.
