Abstract: | We examined voting behavior among 370 low-income older African-American citizens who reside in New Orleans by assessing the impact of various predictors on electoral participation in a series of seven elections. Elders who were active in their community, with a strong sense of citizen duty, who identified themselves as strong Democrats, and with higher levels of education were more likely to vote. |
