Question Wording

Aaron has a good point about questions 1 and 2, they do seem too similar and we are limited to so few questions. I'm leaning toward keeping question 2, because it's more specific to BC and therefore ties in better with the question about voter turnout. What about a question measuring other forms of political participation as well? Or are we focusing just on voter turnout?

Like something along the lines of, in the past year (or whatever time frame we decide on) have you: A) signed a petition B) attended a protest and/or political rally C) joined an political group using social media D) joined a political party (select all that apply)

Or if we want to measure frequency of political participation we could use the question Jennifer suggested above instead: How often do you participate in political matters/protests through social media ex/ online petitions, facebook groups, organizing protest events online 1. Frequently 2. Regularly 3. Sometimes 4. Rarely 5. Never

What do you guys think?
