This study compares face-to-face interviews (PAPI) and computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) on voter turnout of the 2004 presidential election in Taiwan. Results of voting behavior from both surveys are not consistent with actual voter turnout. Results from the PAPI sample are consistent with previous findings that respondents are partial toward the elected officials, but the CATI results are not. The latter results may be attributed to the disproportional distribution of parents’ ethnicity in the sample, although it is also possible that CATI respondents are simply telling the truth
