What are the broader political consequences of former felon disenfranchisement in the communities where they reside? How does living near individuals who cannot vote affect legally enfranchised individuals? feelings of political efficacy and engagement? This RAPID investigates these questions, and associated underlying mechanisms, by adding specific questions in a Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey and analyzing the results. Current research proposes that legally enfranchised individuals who live in communities with individuals who are disenfranchised as a result of felony convictions are less likely to engage in politics and less likely to vote?through a combination of social network effects and feelings of lower political efficacy. This proposition is investigated as is the possibility that political campaigns might work to counteract these tendencies in competitive election settings. The research considers how social networks affect political participation and voting behavior and how the participation of community members and friends in politics affects feelings of political efficacy and inclinations to participate in politics. The goal of this RAPID project is to test several key theoretical mechanisms related to the community-level consequences of former felon disenfranchisement. Placing survey questions on the Collaborative Multi-Racial Post-Election Survey (fielded in cooperation with the Latino Decisions survey project at UCLA) and subsequent statistical analysis of the collected survey data, researchers investigate key causal mechanisms including: how social networks and feelings of political efficacy relate to political participation and civic engagement, and the extent to which campaigns might be able to counteract these effects. While most of the questions are observational, there are also specifically designed experimental treatments embedded in the survey, which will test the causal effects of electoral competitiveness and living in communities where many individuals cannot vote on feelings of political efficacy and inclinations to participate in politics.

前重罪犯在其居住的社区被剥夺公民权的更广泛的政治后果是什么？住在不能投票的人附近如何影响合法享有选举权的人？政治效能感和参与感这个快速调查这些问题，以及相关的基本机制，通过添加特定的问题，在一个合作的多种族选举后调查和分析结果。 目前的研究表明，与因重罪而被剥夺公民权的人生活在一起的合法公民不太可能参与政治，也不太可能投票？通过社会网络效应和较低的政治效能感的结合。这一命题是调查的可能性，政治运动可能会在竞争激烈的选举环境中抵消这些趋势。本研究探讨了社交网络如何影响政治参与和投票行为，以及社区成员和朋友的政治参与如何影响政治效能感和政治参与倾向。这个快速项目的目标是测试与剥夺前重罪犯公民权的社区一级后果有关的几个关键理论机制。 将调查问题的合作多种族选举后调查（现场与加州大学洛杉矶分校的拉丁裔决策调查项目合作）和随后收集的调查数据的统计分析，研究人员调查的关键因果机制，包括：如何社交网络和政治效能感与政治参与和公民参与，以及在何种程度上运动可能能够抵消这些影响。 虽然大多数问题都是观察性的，但调查中也有专门设计的实验处理方法，将测试选举竞争力和生活在许多人无法投票的社区对政治效能感和参与政治倾向的因果影响。
