#bettervoting

Regardless of where you stand politically, I think we can all agree that the recent Presidential campaign and election was shocking. One contributing factor to this unlikely outcome was voters who didn't necessarily favor either candidate, but felt obligated to vote and had to choose one by default. 

This is dangerous because the outcome an election may fail to reflect what people actually want. Not just on a Presidential level, but also in the many other races that go on every election cycle. No single person can stay informed on every race, so why should they be inclined to vote? If you include a bubble, similar to multiple choice tests, that simply says "None of the above" or "I don't know" each voter can leave feeling like they still did their civic duty, without making an uninformed decision that could affect others in an adverse way. 

Another option would be to include a brief slugline, approved by each candidate, to better describe their platform or political stance. This of course is a bit riskier because it wouldn't necessarily be accurate. Like a political campaign.
