Abstract
This manuscript analyzes how two prominent means of elite influence -- political advertisements and election administration policies -- shape the composition of the American electorate. Separate chapters utilize observational and experimental methods and examine the influence of Voter Identification statutes, Polling Place hours and Televised Political Advertising on voter turnout. The study demonstrates that election administration policies and strategic elite rhetoric can influence voter turnout and affect the composition of the American electorate.
