2001 年 11 月 6 日选举之前，在布里奇波特、哥伦布、底特律、明尼阿波利斯、罗利和圣保罗进行了随机选民动员实验。出现在正式登记选民名单上的名字被随机分配到治疗组和对照组。选举日前几天，治疗小组收到了无党派学生和社区组织联盟的面对面接触，鼓励他们投票。选举后，选民投票记录被用来比较分配到治疗组和对照组的人的投票率。与 Gerber 和 Green（2000b）最近报告的实验结果一致，这里的研究结果表明，面对面的选民动员在广泛的地方选举中有效地刺激了选民的投票率。
Prior to the November 6, 2001 elections, randomized voter mobilization experiments were conducted in Bridgeport, Columbus, Detroit, Minneapolis, Raleigh, and St. Paul. Names appearing on official lists of registered voters were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. A few days before Election Day, the treatment group received a face-to-face contact from a coalition of nonpartisan student and community organizations, encouraging them to vote. After the election, voter turnout records were used to compare turnout rates among people assigned to treatment and control groups. Consistent with the recent experimental results reported by Gerber and Green (2000b), the findings here indicate that face-to-face voter mobilization was effective in stimulating voter turnout across a wide spectrum of local elections.
