Election ballots in India are designed with clear icons, local languages and sometimes audio, so voters with different literacy levels can all understand and use them.
When designing election ballots in India for regions with diverse literacy levels, designers consider varying cognitive abilities. This often involves using clear iconography, sometimes drawing from local visual culture like Warli art or Kolam patterns for recognizability, local languages, and sometimes audio assistance to ensure comprehensibility and reduce cognitive load for all voters.
