Democracy is a design problemHow changes in design change the outcome of elections
Dana Chisnell @danachis
Costs
In Maryland, cost per voter increased by 179% going from paper-based systems to touchscreens
13
There are 3,247 counties (or equivalent) in the US
Secretaries of state issue ballot templates
Counties design, print, and distribute ballots
There are many more elections every year than you realize
All voters are affected
thousands of votes are lost or miscast
all voting technologies are affected
greater risk for some groups of voters
splitting contests into different columns
placing different contests on the same screen
placing response options on both sides of names
using arrows rather than bubbles on paper ballots
leaving in disqualified candidates
Classic problems
inconsistency in format and style
not using shading, bold text
not writing short, simple instructions
placing instructions too far away
not telling voters how to correct paper ballots
Classic problems
Top 10 design principlesUse lowercase letters
Avoid centered text
Pick one sans-serif font
Use big enough type
Support process and navigation
Use clear, simple language
Use accurate instructional illustrations
Use informational icons (only)
Use contrast and color functionally
Decide what’s most important

Fiscal Impact: State costs of $19.4 billion, assuming 30 years to pay both principal and interest costs of the bonds. Payments would average about $647 million per year.

Changes California Constitution, prohibiting abortion for unemancipated minor until 48 hours after physician notifies minor’s parent, legal guardian, or, in limited cases, substitute adult relative. Provides an exception for medical emergency or parental waiver. Fiscal Impact: Potential unknown net state costs of several million dollars annually for health and social services programs, court administration, and state health agency administration combined.

Party-Nominated Offices Only voters who disclosed a preference upon registering to vote for the same party as the candidate seeking the nomination of any party for the Presidency or election to a party committee may vote for that candidate at the primary election, unless the party has adopted a rule to permit non-party voters to vote in its primary elections.
Voter-Nominated and Nonpartisan OfficesAll voters, regardless of the party preference they disclosed upon registration, or refusal to disclose a party preference, may vote for any candidate for a voter-nominated or nonpartisan office. The party preference, if any, designated by a candidate for a voter-nominated office is selected by the candidate and is shown for the information of the voters only. It does not imply that the candidate is nominated or endorsed by the party or that the party approves of the candidate. The party preference, if any, of a candidate for a nonpartisan office does not appear on the ballot.
