关于我们
To us, democracy is a design problem. The centerpiece of solving that problem is ensuring voter intent through design. Our goal is to make every interaction between government and citizens easy, effective, and pleasant. We bring civic design skills in research, usability, design, accessibility, and plain language to improve the voting experience, make elections easier to administer, and encourage participation in elections. Through our work, we have helped hundreds of election officials build their skills and capacity, and touched millions of voters in important ways. Across all of our projects, our research suggests that the voter journey—all of the information, decisions, interactions that get a voter from an intention to vote to actually casting a ballot—is a story of seemingly small barriers that can add up to a vote not cast. Our projects and research starts from the causes of those burdens. By smoothing out those barriers, our work can help more people vote, and strengthen democracy.

Over 150 million Americans will cast their ballot this election. Each eligible voter will be verified, each eligible ballot will be counted, and each election results report will be properly reconciled. This is only possible due to the dedication of millions of local election officials and poll workers across the country who work tirelessly to ensure that elections continue to be safe, secure and accessible. Thank you for all your work. https://lnkd.in/eG9_NrmM?

We recently published a new best practice guide on accessible RCV ballots (https://lnkd.in/gzksYvHa) and today, we wanted to dive into the topic of voter control in RCV ballots. When designing ballots, there are rules for the order in which candidates are shown, so the ballot is fair and objective. States make this decision in different ways, from arranging candidates alphabetically to using a lottery system. This works for most contests, where voters choose a single candidate. With ranked choice voting (RCV), the design challenge is a little more complicated. That’s because voters both select the candidates they are voting for and indicate their order of preference. Of course, the names always start in the same order. But what about while voting as voters rank the candidates? Or on the review screen? On a ballot marking device, marking their choices may be easy.? But voters with disabilities using the assistive features of a ballot marking device can find that verifying their rankings is harder. Two ballot design features can solve this challenge: - Let voters put candidates in order (when they are ready) - Show candidates in rank order on the final review and verification screen Learn about these features in our latest article: https://lnkd.in/gKCn_uzA
