Restricting Early Voting: The Impact on Local Elections

• In Event: State and Local Elections in American Politics

Brief Overview

Using data on Ohio’s localities and turnout from 2001-2017, I contend the reduction in early voting in Ohio in 2014 will have a less diminishing effect on turnout than it did in 2005, but will not restore turnout rates prior to early voting in 2005.
