Page History

When Mrs.Johnson begins her task, this is the first scene she sees. To minimize confusion, there is very little text on the screen, just a spot for her to enter her username.

Similarly, the next page just asks for her password. This way she can be validated and she will be logged in to perform her task.

The format for this design is a similarity to a physical ballot. Hence any item with options will have the text as well as a bubble radio-button beside it. Mrs. Johnson and other users can click the button or the text to select a choice.

After logging in, Mrs. Johnson has the option of entering votes by race or by ballot. She's always done it by ballot, so she selects that choice to move on.

The first ballot now shows up and Mrs. Johnson is ready to start entering ballots.

The left pane mirrors the physical ballot that she has seen. The races are in the same order, as are the candidates. Again, she can select the radio buttons or text for a given candidate.

As a method of feedback, the right pane shows the current selections in each race. These are in much larger font to make it easy to quickly verify that she selected the correct candidate.
After scrolling down to the bottom, Mrs. Johnson will see a back button to return to the previous screen, a continue button to move on to the next ballot, and a save button in case she has fewer than 50 ballots or needs a break. She selects continue.

Mrs. Johnson can fill out ballot number 2 in the same manner, and she continues on.

Mrs. Johnson is comfortable with the system and completes ballots 3-49 in the same way.

Finally, Mrs.Johnson reaches ballot #50. This one is a bit unusual with a write-in. But similar to the paper system from past years, she merely marks that the ballot had a write-in, sets the physical one aside, and moves on.

Mrs. Johnson now takes a moment to look over the summary of the 50 ballots she just entered. This way she can make sure the numbers seem to align with what she was entering.

Seeing that these are all correct, she selects "submit these ballots" at the bottom of the screen.

Mrs.Johnson is relieved to see that the ballots were successfully submitted. That was all she needed to do now, so she selects finish and log out.

Seeing that the system is back to the home page, Mrs.Johnson is satisfied that she has completed her work and is safely logged out of the system. She's now ready to move on to her next task.
