Introduction 

The 2010 Election Administration and Voting Survey data are available in three data 

formats – Microsoft Excel, SPSS, and .DBF. This codebook presents the variable name, a 

brief description of the variable, and the variable type (text or numeric) for all variables 

in the data. For most numeric variables, we present the minimum and maximum 

reported values as well as the frequency and percent of missing values and blank 

responses. Missing values include “Data Not Available” and “Not Applicable”. In all data 

formats (i.e. Microsoft Excel, SPSS, and .DBF), a value of -888888 indicates that a 

jurisdiction reported “Not Applicable” and a value of -999999 indicates that a 

jurisdiction reported “Data Not Available”. Names in the .DBF format of a few variables 

are abbreviated due to character limits. 

Additional information about the 2010 Election Administration and Voting Survey and a 

copy of The Impact of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 on the Administration 

of Elections for Federal Office 2009-2010 report are available at www.eac.gov.
