AIGA’s Get Out the Vote campaign invites designers to create nonpartisan posters and videos that inspire the American public to participate in the electoral process and vote in the 2012 general election.

Design for Democracy applies design tools to increase civic participation by making interactions between the U.S. government and its citizens clear.

Since 2000, Design for Democracy's ballot and election design project has worked to make voting easier and more accurate for all U.S. citizens.

This pro bono effort sought to cut production costs as much as possible, ingeniously combining three distinct items—an MFA entry guide, a graduate catalog and a large-scale poster—into a single publication.
