From The Academy: Does An Additional Year Of Education Correlate With A Higher Chance Of Voting?

Steven Tenn, writing in Political Analysis on "The Effect of Education on Voter Turnout" finds that an additional year of schooling --- say, one year of college -- has no significant effect on voter turnout. That is -- even if the population at large advances its average education by a year, voter turnout will stay much the same. So why does education correlate with turnout? Tenn theorizes that some other factor must be at work.
