The Design Concepts

In April 2013, Los Angeles County invited the award-winning global design firm, IDEO, to envision a voter experience true to the project principles. Utilizing a human-centered iterative design process IDEO produced three design concepts that evolved into one model, which continues to be refined.

Note: The design concepts shown are not representations of actual voting systems.

One Vote | Many Options

The final concept created for VSAP incorporates features driven by the project principles as well as focus group feedback, input and in-person testing.

The concept system features touch-screen technology with a simple user interface, both audio and visual output and a built-in scanner, printer and ballot box. The new voting system will provide voters with options to scan in QR coded ballots from their phone, enter their ballot choices in-person at the polling location or vote-by-mail with printed ballots.
