Ballot review checklist

Whether you are designing ballots for an election, working with a new voting system for the first time, or reviewing ballots, there’s nothing like a good checklist to make sure that voters can mark their ballots the way they intend.

This checklist presents 8 questions to ask when reviewing a ballot. Asking these questions will give you a process for looking at a ballot and thinking about the voter experience for understanding, marking, and verifying their selections. The questions ask how all of the elements on the ballot come together to create an effective experience for voters.
