In the remaining sections of this report, we compare groups of Americans using pie-charts. The following shows the whole population, age 15 and older, and subsequent charts show specific demographic groups.


Definitions
Electoral specialists: Engaged in three or more electoral activities (registering, voting, volunteering for a candidate or campaign, attending political meetings and rallies, giving money to a candidate in person, giving money to a candidate online, and talking to someone about voting for a particular candidate).

Service specialists: Engaged in three or more service activities (volunteering, belonging to a group/organization, going to a club meeting, and working on a community project).

“Citizen-centered”: Both attended a public meeting where community issues were discussed and worked with people in the community to solve a problem.

“Involved in several ways”: Qualified for more than one of the above categories.

“Not very engaged”: Qualified for none of these categories.

Note that because some people are involved in several ways, the slices labeled “electoral specialists,” “service specialists,” and “citizen-centered” do not include everyone who qualified for those categories. Those who qualified for more than one are “involved in several ways.”
