dc.description.abstractAlthough much literature in political science refers to the costs of voting, they have not been comprehensively studied. I develop a new theory of costs based on both the tasks needed to vote and their attendant individual-specific trade-offs. I then use an original survey to demonstrate that perceived task difficulty measures perform well for measuring these costs. Finally, I look at the impact of these costs on both validated voter turnout and intention to vote.en_US
