For all subjects across the two experiments, the effect of signing a pledge to vote rather than a traditional petition was 3.7 points, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1 to 6.4 points.
Contexto
What changed: Individuals recruited on college campuses were asked to sign a pledge card to vote (and mailed their pledge reminder) instead of signing a generic reminder petition. Comparison: Individuals approached on shifts assigned to standard get-out-the-vote reminders and information. Limits: Implemented predominantly among college students in two swing states in 2016, with turnout validated via commercial voter-file matching.
