Mark anywhere
Make it easy for voters to mark their ballot anywhere, then bring them to the polling place to cast them. Why not make it easy to get a copy of the ballot and mark it anywhere (in any method), then come to the polling place to cast the ballot

Video Voters Guide
Just as you receive a printed booklet outlining the arguments on both sides of ballot initiatives, what if we made a video version that aired on everything from TV news to YouTube? Better yet, have it be interactive as well.

Gigantic user needs Database (voter needs) then candidates take the test.
Build a huge and thorough database of user needs, of all voters we can imagine. Has anyone done this before? I don't know we might be surprised. Then have the candidates take the test to see who most qualify for the potential job.
