Starting with young people, design training and activities to build on previous knowledge using civic building exercises combined with awareness and empathy exercises to illuminate barriers to the process that exist for many.
Susan Fox, of the University of New Hampshire Institute on Disability, leads discussion about access to voting for people with cognitive/intellectual disabilities - one of the more challenging barriers to address.
This is the first in a series of videos that highlights the voting experiences - including barriers encountered - by persons with disabilities. It discusses the national and local changes underway as a result of the Help American to Vote Act.
In fact, that was one of the strongest elements as I recall. That by having an option to express preferences, the voting experience would be facilitated for all voters. It is not necessary to think of this as an accommodation for voters with disability, but rather a facilitation for "express voting" for everyone.
This is actually one of the ideas that received focus from the January face to face workshop. It seemed that nearly every concept that emerged could benefit from some aspect of a user-created self profile that would help make the voting process conform to specific voter needs. Some good concept detail is available here http://elections.itif.org/projects/design-workshops/concept-express-voting/
