===Distance to voting location===
The cost of voting influences whether or not a person will vote. Research shows that the more expensive voting gets, the less likely a person is to vote.<ref name="Location"/> Distance to the polling location is one of the main reasons cost can become an issue for voters.<ref name="Location"/> Minor changes in distance from voters' homes to polling place can change the turnout of voters, which may change the outcome of a close election.<ref name="Can Affect"/> Distance to the polling place is an issue if not every voter has access to vehicle transportation.<ref name="Location"/> According to the research on distance to the polling location by Haspel and Knotts, "To illustrate the range of the effect of distance, we plot our predicted probabilities at the lower and upper bounds of our continuous vehicle available variable. When no one owns a car (vehicle available = 0), the likelihood of voting drops from .664 at a distance of {{Convert|.01|mi|m|disp=sqbr}} to .418 at the median distance of {{Convert|.69|mi|m|disp=sqbr}}. When automobiles are universally available (vehicle available = 1), voters are much less sensitive to changes in distance: the likelihood of voting drops from .444 to .392 over the same distance range".<ref name="Location"/> Voters ultimately value the convenience of polling locations. If a poll is accessible to the citizen they will make an effort, if the citizen has to travel a long distance then voter turnout decreases dramatically".<ref name="Location"/>
