Abstract

How does the intrinsic voting strength of two groups with different adult age structures compare? How does the annual maturation of juvenile cohorts into adult voters gradually augment a group’s voting strength over time? Answers to these questions can account for why one group registers or votes at higher rates than another. This chapter furnishes two useful demographic accounting models: one, for making an “apples to apples” comparison of political participation across groups where differing age structures obscure a true comparison; the other, to foresee the effects over time of juvenile cohorts maturing into adult voters, strengthening that group’s political participation over time.
