Intervention (Public)
|
Before
We will contact previously-convicted people prior to fall municipal elections, offering them information about eligibility to vote and a registration form and stamped envelope to return that form to the board of elections.

We will contact previously-convicted people prior to fall municipal elections, offering them information about eligibility to vote and a registration form and stamped envelope to return that form to the board of elections.
We will scale up the previous pilot study for a larger trial prior to the 2020 general election. We will use a between-subjects design with several treatment arms and an (uncontacted) control group.

Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
Voter registration (appearing on the state's public voter file) and voting in municipal elections where relevant, as well as longer-term voter participation in the next statewide election.

After
Voter registration (appearing on the state's public voter file) and voting in municipal elections where relevant, as well as longer-term voter participation in the next statewide election.
For the larger scaled up project we will also collect data for voting in the General Election.

Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
We will randomly divide people in a sample of previously-convicted residents of North Carolina into two groups; the "control" group will not be contacted, while the "treatment" group will be sent a letter telling them about the voter registration process and encouraging them to register if eligible.

Planned Number of Clusters
|
Before
8,621 people for whom we have addresses in the initial sample.
|
After
8,621 people for whom we have addresses in the initial sample.
Across all conditions and control groups, we expect a total sample size of about 161,000 individuals in the 2020 trial.

Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
|
Before
people will be randomized with equal probability into treatment/control conditions (so n/2).
|
After
people will be randomized with equal probability into treatment/control conditions (so n/2).
People will be randomized with equal probability into treatment/control conditions for the 2020 expansion.
