Unbox the Ballot
With the onset of Covid-19, more people are voting by mail then ever before. Mail in voting has grown from 24.9% in 2016 to 50.3% in 2020. Going to the polling station and casting your vote is an experience one remembers. You go to your local polling station, wait in line, check your name, cast your vote, and get your "I Voted" sticker. All of this experience and memories are lost in the mail in ballot process.
What if we treated the ballot with the respect it deserves and created more of an at home experience? For this project, I explored what our ballot process could be and disregarded the obvious cost of creating ballot packages for all voters.
Concept: Weight
For this concept, I wanted to explore the immense weight one's vote has and the importance of that decision. Your vote affects everything from the President down to the amount of school tax you pay. Your choice will affect you and your family for years to come and needs to be treated with the respect it deserves.
