Abstract
Electo Electro 2020 was a project that was created specifically for the 2020 presidential election cycle. This paper is a follow-up to an article published in 2019 for the Journal of Network Music and Arts, “Voting Booths and Interactive Art Installations: The Diebold AccuVote-TS in Context.” In that paper, I discussed the original concept and goals for the project, several examples of work from other artists, and an earlier project from 2016 that served as the impetus for Electo Electro. This paper will discuss the outcomes and iterations of the project, specifically how it was adapted to an online format. It will also delve into specific design and technical decisions regarding the interface, branding and collateral materials, and the networked aspect of the project. There have been recent developments concerning the debate surrounding voting technology and security which will be discussed as well.
