Hello,
Regarding Zeus item "Voting Systems and Ballots Specification",
it would be useful to provide some thoughts and planning. For example:
- Study the currently supported ballot formats and counting,
by reading the codebase and/or using zeus.grnet.gr (you can create a
demo account). Note any usability issues.
For example, it is common for voters to search for a "blank vote"
option, not realizing that the blank vote can be cast by not selecting
anything. Election officials often include a "blank vote" choice in
their ballot, not realizing that they create two "blank vote" options
for their voters.
- Survey the various ballot formats and counting systems and find out
which are or can be easily supported by Zeus and study the way they
are laid out for usability.
- For each supported ballot format, document the proposed changes
by describing:
- The technical representation of the ballot format (e.g. its
structure in JSON)
- The visual representation of the ballot at the in-browser booth.
- Also address issues such as:
- Small screen/big ballot/long candidate names/long question text
- Multiple clicks
- Connectivity errors and network lag
- Preview of ballot choices
- Allowable characters and formatting
- After the proposed changes have been reviewed, implement and test
them.
Please, ask if there are any more specific questions.
