Spurred by this, the Electoral Commission commissioned User Vision and Effortmark to conduct usability tests with a range of voters in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In their talk, Clare and Caroline will provide insight on how they approached the project and what they learned about ballots and about running paper testing.

National Assembly for Wales in 2007 . The Commission noted that many voters commented on a ‘two feet long’ ballot paper for the regional list elections. Some local Returning Officers used their discretion to print a more manageable-sized ballot paper with two columns. However, this meant some voters cast their vote on ballot papers of different appearance to others, owing to the inconsistencies that arose between constituencies within an electoral region. Scotland 2007 , combined parliamentary and local government elections where a relatively high number of ballot papers were rejected (i.e. they were not included in the votes which were counted to determine the result because they were not properly completed) which attracted criticism of the design of the ballot papers used at those elections.
