RE: RCR-LA-1: Review screen.



Until that happens, the larger yellow arrows along with moving the Cast Ballot button to the left would suffice..

I may be a little late in posting some alternative thinking for this thread, however.. why is the yellow pointy thing necessary at all?  Consider consistency with reference to the ballot screens, it seems to be a multiple page layout is suitable in that context and the voter has become accustomed to the "Previous / Next" navigational scheme, so why don't we follow through with a multiple page review screen ?

I have later realized that the “move” text has to be translated into 7 languages, and I am not sure if all translations can be reasonably drawn in the yellow pointy thing.  We might be able to solve that with a bigger arrow.  It is not like there is a lot more (vertical) space below either though.  I am also concerned that the word “move” below is not going to be at all obvious.  I would look at it and say “move what?” and then try to click on it.  Maybe if you could mock something up in paint/photoshop to show us what you really think this should look like, preferably in an asian language.

 

Either way it will have to be part of a new TSText, and a less trivial change than I had originally anticipated.

 

To everyone else:  message received on the cast ballot button position.  We’ll move it to the left.  That looses some consistency with the rest of our pages though, which are supposed to have a “back” on the left and “proceed” on the right feel to it.  I don’t like this, but at the same time I can’t really think of a better screen layout either.  We could move the scroll-bar to the left, but that would just encourage wrong-thinking left handed people.

LA County likes this but would also like to move the Cast Ballot button to the left to avoid a possible miscast vote.

Resisting the temptation to comment on voters who can’t understand what the arrows are for, how about something like this:

LA County would like to add the word   MOVE  above and below the yellow arrows, they would want to move the Cast Ballot button left to accomplish this change.

They feel that the majority of voters have not worked with computer based systems and do not understand the concept of the arrows..
