Overview
The Center for Civic Design believes that democracy has a design problem. The group’s research suggests that the voter journey — 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. Clear, readable information and easy interactions can vastly improve a voter’s ability to find and use information, cast a ballot privately and independently, and have a positive election experience. The center works with election officials to apply good design principles in developing voter information guides, ballots, poll worker manuals, and other election materials that accommodate the needs of voters of all educational levels and backgrounds and help more people vote.
