The University of Michigan and Stanford University propose to continue their collaboration to conduct a series of studies focused on the determinants of electoral and political participation and, ultimately, vote choice in the 2016 presidential election. The study is, in part, a continuation of the pre-election/post-election data-collection enterprise that dates back to the election of 1948, but is also intended
to move the American National Election Studies (ANES) in new directions that respond to changing social, economic and political conditions in American society.
