UX Hackathon Brief
What
How might we increase voter turnout among first-time voters?
When ideating on potential solutions, consider age, race, gender, and socio-economic status. In addition, think about how levels of access, election type, and voting laws can play a part in lowering voter turnout.

Why
Ensure there are more voices and more perspectives heard.
How
Working with a team of 3 - 5 you'll brainstorm and come up with a solution using whiteboards, and/or miro, whimsical or pictures of whiteboards, you’ll be provided. You'll have about 90 minutes to work through solutions.
Some areas to start your explorations:
How do new voters find about voting in the first place? (how and when to vote)
How do new voters find out about requirements and where their polling place is.
How do new voters register to vote?
The actual process of voting.
Lo-fi sketches and a hypothesis for how you'd do this.
Start them with basic statistics for voting. Teams can do their own research as well during the competition.
Requirements
One person presents on a zoom link to the audience. Show whatever helps illustrate your concept. Sketches/wireframes/slides, paper-prototype, etc.
