Ballot Design

Re: The complexity of ballots in the United States

This interactive ballot "identifies common design problems" and allows readers to see the alternatives recommended by the United States Election Assistance Commission.

Some of the problems noted include "misleading page design," "complex language" and "confusing images." Presumably these problems are made worse by the number of candidates and issues on most American ballots.
