design thinking in elections

Design thinking in elections is an approach that focuses on understanding voters' needs and experiences to improve electoral processes. It involves empathetically exploring voters’ perspectives, defining challenges, brainstorming solutions, prototyping new ideas, and testing them to ensure the system is accessible, efficient, and trustworthy. This human-centered method aims to create election processes that are more inclusive, transparent, and responsive to citizen needs, ultimately increasing engagement and confidence in democracy while addressing practical issues through iterative, user-focused innovation.
