Despite this legislative interest, public opinion on private school choice remains varied. In this paper, we examine voter support for private school choice in Missouri, a politically conservative state that lacked a private school choice program until 2021. We conduct a survey experiment to gauge support for the expansion of private school choice to religious schools, assess preferences for universal or targeted student access, and explore opinions regarding the regulation of participating private schools. We find voters are significantly less likely to support voucher expansion when primed to consider that vouchers could be used at religiously affiliated schools. Political ideology, racial identity, college exposure, and family income are significant predictors of voucher support. Regulation support varies widely, with the strongest support for adherence to state testing requirements and the lowest support for waiving admissions requirements for voucher students. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for Missouri’s recently passed private school  \nchoice program, particularly by considering ways in which political compromise may be reached to implement the program in a manner conscious of heterogeneous voter preferences.  \nKeywords: private school choice; school choice; survey research; public opinion; education policy  \n¿Quién en MO apoya la elección de escuela privada? Evidencia de votantes probables en Missouri  \nResumen: En el primer semestre de 2021, 33 U.S. los estados consideraron una nueva legislación deelección de escuela privada. A pesar de este interés legislativo, la opinión pública sobre la elección de escuelas privadas sigue siendo variada. En este documento, examinamos el apoyo de los votantes a la elección de escuelas privadas en Missouri, un estado políticamente conservador que carecía de un programa de elección de escuelas privadas hasta 2021. Llevamos a cabo un experimento de encuesta para medir el apoyo a la expansión de la elección de escuelas privadas a las escuelas religiosas, evaluar las preferencias para el acceso de estudiantes universales o específicos, y explorar opiniones con respecto a la regulación de las escuelas privadas participantes. Encontramos que los votantes son significativamente menos propensos a apoyar la expansión de los vales cuando están preparados para considerar que los vales podrían usarse en escuelas afiliadas religiosamente. La ideología política, la identidad racial, la exposición a la universidad y los ingresos familiares son predictores significativos del apoyo de los vales. El apoyo de la regulación varía ampliamente, con el apoyo más fuerte para el cumplimiento de los requisitos de las pruebas estatales y el apoyo más bajo para la exención de los requisitos de admisión para los estudiantes con vales. Concluimos discutiendo las implicaciones de nuestros hallazgos para el programa de elección de escuelas privadas aprobadorecientemente en Missouri, particularmente al considerar las formas en que se pueden alcanzar compromisos políticos para implementar el programa de una manera consciente de las preferenciasheterogéneas de los votantes.  \nPalabras clave: elección de escuela priv","cbCaikAhCGQFAeUZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikAhCGQFAeUZ","pdf",588034,"English","# Who Supports MO Private School Choice?\n## Evidence from Likely Voters in Missouri","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper study about private school choice in Missouri?\",\"answer\":\"It examines voter support for private school choice in Missouri and how preferences differ across policy designs and regulatory approaches.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the survey experiment test attitudes toward religious schools?\",\"answer\":\"It measures support for expanding private school choice to religious schools by priming respondents to consider that vouchers could be used at religiously affiliated schools.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors predict voucher support and how does regulation support vary?\",\"answer\":\"Political ideology, racial identity, college exposure, and family income significantly predict voucher support.
