VoterFlow

For a number of reasons, many Americans find long lines at the polls when they go to vote in person, particularly in popular elections. This happens, in part, because there are a number of issues that can prevent a voter from receiving their ballot right away when they get to the check-in counter, from needing to verify their address to being in the wrong precinct.

Often, a “flagged” voter then must be told to wait in another line to see a poll worker who has been trained to address these issues and vote using a provisional ballot. This often results in frustration for both the voter and the poll workers.

To address this problem, this app gives poll workers a series of questions to ask voters while they are waiting in line so that they can be directed to the “flagged voter” line as soon as possible.
