Digital voting in Germany — Application design
Since digital voting is becoming a more and more relevant topic in other countries we took a look at the situation in Germany. We developed an application that encourages the user to participate in an election and allows them to vote conveniently and safely.

The internet is becoming an increasingly important tool in politics. Petitions are being signed online and campaigns are started on Twitter. One of the only exceptions are political elections, at least in most countries. In Estonia voting via the internet is possible since 2005. The so-called “i-Voting” is used by 44% of the population.*

We translated the insights of our research and interviews into five personas. We determined a target group of eligible voters between 16 and 55, who are comfortable with using digital devices.
How might we make digital voting convenient, secure, and therefore more attractive?
The initial approach
Since the prospect of online voting couldn’t be more relevant in a year of parliamentary elections in Germany during a pandemic, I decided to redesign this project and apply everything I learned since working on it initially.
