It seems govt orgs think #UX is only important for e-commerce, but do so to the detriment of the public they serve.
In 2020, there’s no excuse for UX issues in voting instructions & ballot design as @danachis addressed this years ago.

I am particularly proud of the work on http://healthyvoting.org We worked hard with a team of legal experts and
@oxidedesign to percent voting options clearly concisely and accurately, with a presentation that doesn't distract or discourage. -
Take a look at the Virginia envelopes. Solving requirements for rules and USPS....and voters. https://www.elections.virginia.gov/media/formswarehouse/absentee-voting/ballots/AB-Return-Envelope-w-specs-8-2020.pdf … VA-VBM-Envelope-B-with-Specs-7-2020.pdf

That’s all great work and there is a lot of great work. Thank you for it! But the paths are not yet paved for widespread, systematic UX work. If one person with low literacy or low vision doesn’t sign the outside of an envelope and their vote isn’t counted then we can do better.

Agree. I thought I was being constructive when I pointed out all of the positive things about the instructions and the fact that the ballot was very recognizable in the mail.
