How might we design an accessible election experience for everyone? Read the challenge brief

Concepting

Let’s take everything we learned during the Inspiration phase and use those insights to develop our own creative ideas to address the challenge question. Get creative, join conversations – and remember: the more visual you can make your posts, the better, but please also describe your images for people who need non-visual access!

Featured Concept

Vote Pools
Organise car/bus-pools to take people from communities to their voting stations. Additionally, use text messaging or microblogging to help organise these at short notice. Submitted by: Ramanand J 

With Bar Codes, there are no two same ones. Every voter should get a ballot with a bar code. So, everyone's vote will count, be registered and accurate.

Interactive Stimuli Voting

Combining output interfaces (Audio and Video) even in different languages, with input stimuli interfaces (switches, camera mouse, speech recognition, oral mouse, etc ), we can make voting accessible to practically all people.

Relax!

During the Inspiration phase, I was struck by one thought: voting seems to be stressful for everyone, regardless of your abilities or needs. How can we help people relax on election day?

Who's who (Vote for your neighbor not the candidate.)

What if we ask people to vote for candidates based who they REALLY know. But we do our homework in terms of matching the candidates with those you know, and so on. Of course initial candidates have to meet some initial selection criteria.

National Voter Roll vs National Voting ID Card's thumbnail

National Voter Roll vs National Voting ID Card

Some inspirations have proposed changing or eliminating registration/pre-registraion but usually proposed some alternative like an existing National ID Card. Undoubtedly it is necessary to identify voters and to establish their right to vote.

Let the app suggest's thumbnail

Let the app suggest

Mobile devices and apps enable different processes of voting using their multiple ways of input and output. But how can a poll clerk decide which method fits who?

So what if you can not go out today? Inform a local super clerk, and he will come to pick up your vote.

Mobile numbers as unique ID users's thumbnail

Mobile numbers as unique ID users

Mobiles could solve the 3 central “pains” of the challenge: (1) security, (2) convenience, (3) simplicity; but instead of using mobiles as polling tools, I would think of them as a unique ID user –after a rigorous validation process of course.

Thumbnail : Options for head-based input

Head tracking for interaction

With disabilities, there is no single fix for adapting the voting booth. At a minimum, the ability to control the head is the most common, so this booth can be customized with head-based interactions, along with visual, sound, and touch-based...

Thumbnail : They know who you are, they have your health records.

Polling day's every day. Vote WHEN YOU CAN & WHEN YOU WANT during any period of an election term.

A system that enables me to vote and also change my vote at any point in time during an election term. A system that contains a right to actively register a "no vote" to enable those who feel they are not served to express this and be recognised.

Telephone Voting's thumbnail

Telephone Voting

Apart from the innovative 'marble voting' used in Gambia, and the commonplace paper-based ballot, the next simple technology for voting is probably the telephone. As such it should be included in any mix of voting options.
