Subject: Better design of New York City ballots will lead to better elections for everyone
Dear New York City Board of Elections,
Please find a new resource for accessible and usable ballot design here:
http://civicdesigning.org/fieldguides/
These “field guides” were prepared by Dana Chisnell, Whitney Quesenbery, and Drew Davies, all experts in election and ballot design. You can learn more about her work at usabilityworks.net.
I’ve been a resident of New York City for [x] years. [Add any factoids about your involvement in schools, communities, small businesses].
[If you or your company backed the Kickstarter project, please include this - ] Disclosure: my company invested in this project because we believe that good design is essential to the engine of our democracy.
Thanks,
