Quotes from this Episode: 

“I like the term vote at home. I think that really communicates what's happening and States in the US have been doing that for years and years. The trends are clear and a lot more personalized content makes it more relevant.” Brook Spaulding, Market Development Manager, W+D 

“In terms of avoiding mistakes, it’s really important to remember quality in, quality out. This is not the time to skimp on raw materials and you want ballots to lay flat and you want everything to be legible, printable and foldable.” Brook Spaulding, Market Development Manager, W+D
