Abstract

See full text

A system, method and computer program product for utilizing a person's voting status as a factor in segmenting a population, and in various aspects of selling, underwriting, or rating insurance. In defining voting status, recent voting, voting frequency, or other voting history may optionally take into account the type of election or the turnout for the election, or both. Voting status may be used together with other factors such as age, gender, driving distance to place of employment, or residence location. A risk model for insurance purposes is provided, including segmentation of a population into groups based factors including voting status; and determining risk parameters of each group. A rate structure corresponding to the segmented groups may be calculated, and insurance coverage limits and a premium proposed to a customer based on a group assignment. Persons to receive insurance sales solicitations may be identified based on voting status.
