Meeting
Georgia State Election Board - Client
Gist
Chris walked the Georgia State Election Board contact through the redesigned homepage, addressing feedback on the AI-generated mockups: consolidated navigation, standardized the news/bulletins section to a blog-style format with archive, and discussed swapping generic stock voter imagery for state capitol/library images. They also worked out logistics — moving the standing call to Tuesdays at 9am, using the feedback/ticketing button for content change requests instead of email, and planning to rename or rework the 'complaint process' page to redirect people to county election offices first.

What came out of it
Decisions4
- Moved the standing weekly call to Tuesdays at 9am
- Bulletins/news section will be built as blog-style posts (image, title, description) rather than short sticky-note style, with a future archive page
- Staff address blocks will be removed from individual entries since the agency address is duplicated in the footer; personal emails will be added instead
- Content change requests should go through the in-app feedback/report button instead of individual emails so they enter the project management system
Risks and blockers5
- No image assets found in the available libraries or stock photography subscription that match the desired voter-imagery aesthetic
- Duplicate navigation links between top nav and homepage cards create redundancy
- Staff photo (John's) is cropped oddly due to differing aspect ratio, cutting off his head
- Chris will be unavailable for two weeks, limiting turnaround on new requests
- Ambiguity remains on whether 'request investigation' and 'complaint process' are meant to be the same page
Open questions2
- Should the 'complaint process' be renamed or merged with 'request an investigation' to reduce confusion and redirect complainants to county election offices first?
- What will the final verbiage be for directing complainants to their local county elections office before filing a state investigation?
