QR Codes for Voter Information: Polling Locations, ID Requirements, and Registration

1. Voter Registration

A QR on a campaign mailer or community notice links to the voter registration form or the check-registration lookup. Simple, mobile-first forms increase registration rates.

2. Polling Location Lookup

A QR links to a polling station finder pre-configured for the electoral district printed on the mailer. Enter a postcode or address and see the correct location on a map.

3. ID Requirements

Voters in many jurisdictions must bring ID. A QR links to a clear, up-to-date list of accepted documents for that election. Reduce spoiled votes by ensuring voters arrive prepared.

4. Accuracy and Updates

Elections involve frequently changing information. The QR must link to a page the authority controls and can update instantly if polling locations change or deadlines shift.

5. Non-Partisan Design

QR voter information provided by an electoral authority must be strictly non-partisan. The linked page should contain only factual, procedural information.
