| dc.description.abstract | How does the regime type of their country of origin influence the likelihood of naturalized citizens' participating in voting? Voting behavior of different demographics is a long studied topic within Political Science research. But few studies have been conducted regarding the voting behavior of naturalized citizens. Using the Voting and Registration Supplement from the November 2012 Current Population Survey, I attempt to identify the influence that the country of origin for these citizens has on their attitude towards voting. Findings suggest that individuals who immigrated from democratic countries are more likely to vote than those from non-democratic countries. | |
