Local elections officials are looking for design guidance
As Sarah Higgins -- AIGA design fellow in the Washington State Elections Division -- attests, people who deal with ballot design are hungry for data and guidelines on which to base their decisions about ballot designs.
She's especially excited about what the field guides might tell her about dealing with multiple languages in her designs. More and more jurisdictions are required to provide ballots and voter information in languages in addition to English. Rural counties in Nebraska, Texas, New York, California, and North Carolina are adding Spanish, Tagalog, and Chinese to their ballots. Other, densely populated places, like New York City and Los Angeles are having to provide ballots in as many as 10 languages to serve their melting-pot of registered voters.
