The Brennan Center for Justice, a division of New York University’s School of Law has published a report discussing the huge numbers of votes that aren’t counted in each election because of mistakes by voters, most of which are caused by bad ballot design. The report outlines a set of directives that Secretaries of State all over the United States can adopt to ensure fairer, more accurate vote counts in elections.

It is estimated that some 400,000 votes were lost or miscounted in the 2008 and 2010 national elections because of voter errors, particularly in absentee and provisional ballots. Absentee and provisional voting are on the rise in the U.S., making clarity and ease of voting a priority in making certain that every person who has the right to vote is able to do so.
