The mean and the median linear polarization at wavelengths of 3.7, 6, 11, 31, and 49 cm are calculated for various types of quasars characterized by the presence or absence of optical absorption lines. No differences in mean linear polarization as large as two standard deviations are observed between absorption and nonabsorption quasars, but it is found that absorption-line quasars usually have higher mean polarizations only at 3.7 cm. It is concluded that the linear-polarization properties of quasars having absorption lines are indistinguishable from those of quasars lacking absorption lines.
