UX Voting System Redesign: Elevator Pitch
The current voting system in the US is in need of a redesign, and who better to take on the job than a talented UX designer with a team of empathetic, creative problem-solvers with a passion for accessible design. I believe I meet that description to a T, and as someone with a lot of ideas on the subject, and who is a proactive, team-player, I assure you I’d be an invaluable asset in coming to a successful and equitable design solution.
The current voting system is archaic at best. Looking at the record-breaking voter turn-out in this year’s election, it’s clear that mail-in voting is the future. But I think the process of mail-in voting can be made more accessible, more equitable, and into more of an experience for voters. People should be excited about exercising their right to vote, and I believe voting materials should embody that– they can be official, secure, straightforward, but still really cool-looking! As a part of the design team taking on this challenge, I know I’d be a key contributor to the final product.
