New paper on ballot design...

elections

It's an exciting time to be a voting systems researcher.

Michael Alvarez of CalTech points ("New research paper on ballot design") to a new paper where researchers apply survey design heuristics to ballot design and find that several common features can increase the likelihood of a misrecorded vote and that this might track with racial demographics. Find the paper by David Kimball and Martha Kropf here: "Ballot Design and Unrecorded Votes on Paper-Based Ballots".
