Therefore we&#8217;ve made a couple of changes to offer you a better navigation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Better Navigation<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Vote&#8221; navigation button was renamed to the &#8220;Home&#8221; button, since the Home page might be used for purposes other than voting, for example checking a vote receipt. We also re-ordered the navigation menu to be more intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jump to the Ballot<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a voter logs into the voting website, they are taken directly to the ballot instead of the Home page under the following circumstances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They are eligible to vote in a current election; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They haven&#8217;t already voted in it; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are not eligible to vote in any other current elections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In such cases it makes sense to push the voter along the process and save them an extra click. In the rare case that the voter doesn&#8217;t want to vote, they can click on the Home navigation button or click the Cancel button at the bottom of the ballot to get to the Home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These updates are designed to streamline the voter experience, making the process faster and more user-friendly. By minimizing unnecessary steps and ensuring that navigation is clear and intuitive, we aim to reduce confusion and improve overall satisfaction. As always, our goal is to make e-democracy as accessible and efficient as possible for every voter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplyvoting.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The voting website, where e-democracy happens, should be as convenient and intuitive as possible for the voter.
