Solving Big Problems: UX of Voting

The single most important act any citizen can do is to vote in an election.  Bonds, US Presidents, school boards, laws, and business depend upon how people vote. Since the 200 general election usability issues with the Florida butterfly ballot and other voting systems have been under scrutiny.  UX professionals have offered a series of solutions to help improve voting systems. In this talk, we will review some of the recent research on voting systems. You will see examples of poor ballot designs and voting processes as well as some suggested solutions. Plus, we will review ongoing efforts to improve the user experience of voting.
