Data are drawn from the 1965, 1968, 1972, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1988, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2008 Canadian Election Studies. The dependent variable is voted (1) or did not vote (0) in the election. The model is a logistic regression. The cohort variables indicate the election in which a respondent was first eligible to vote. Accordingly, those coefficients report the probability of voting in any election given membership in a certain cohort. The election variables indicate the probability of any individual voting in a respective election, given their cohort.
