Don't Get Burnt

Design legend and 1972 AIGA Medalist Milton Glaser on why to not vote is to not exist, AIGA’s Get Out the Vote campaign, and the power of design to inform.

Design for Democracy applies design to increase civic participation by bringing clarity in the interactions between the U.S. government and its citizens.

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.

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 gallery contains examples of ballots and other election materials that have evolved through the benefit of professional design guidance or guidelines while remaining grounded in relevant local legislative, budgetary and equipment-based constraints.

The following ballot and election design tools and resources may be useful to election officials, legislators, equipment providers, printers, designers and press.
