Replication Data for: Voting From Jail

We leverage new data on daily individual-level jail records and exploit the timing of incarceration to estimate the causal effects of jail incarceration on voting from jail in 2020. We find that jail incarceration reduces the turnout of jailed registered voters by 41\% on average, and reduces the turnout of jailed Black registered voters by 68\% on average. Jail incarceration also reduces registration from jail, resulting in even larger effects of incarceration on voting from jail. Our findings reveal the pressing need to enable voting-eligible incarcerated individuals to exercise their constitutional right to vote, and to address racial disparities in the effect of jail incarceration on the exercise of that right.
