Abstract

Photo identification (ID) laws are often passed on the premise that they will prevent voter fraud and/or reduce perceptions of electoral fraud. The impact of ID laws on perceptions of electoral fraud remains unsettled and is complicated by widespread confusion about current voting requirements. In the 2017 Virginia election, we fielded an experiment, with an advocacy organization, evaluating the effects of the organization’s outreach campaign. We randomized which registered voters were mailed one of three informational postcards. After the election, we surveyed subjects about electoral integrity and their knowledge about election laws. We find that providing registrants with information on the state’s photo ID requirements is associated with a reduction in perceptions of fraud and increased knowledge about voting requirements.

照片识别法和对选举舞弊的看法
照片身份识别法通常是在防止选民欺诈和/或减少对选举舞弊的认知的前提下通过的。身份法对选举舞弊认知的影响仍然悬而未决,并且由于对当前投票要求的普遍困惑而变得复杂。在2017年弗吉尼亚州选举中,我们与一个倡导组织进行了一项实验,评估该组织外联活动的效果。我们随机挑选了三张信息明信片中的一张邮寄给哪些登记选民。选举结束后,我们调查了有关选举诚信的受试者及其对选举法的了解。我们发现,向登记者提供有关该州带照片身份证要求的信息,可以减少对欺诈的认知,增加对投票要求的了解。
