Voting Booths and Polling Places

Tomorrow is midterm election day in the U.S., and William Drenttel, of Design Observer and the Winterhouse Institute, wants you to capture those events on film. Co-sponsored by AIGA, Design for Democracy, and NewAssignment.Net, Drenttel's Polling Place Photo Project hopes to create "an archive of photographs that captures the richness and complexity of voting in America."
In other words, go vote – and takes lots of pictures.
In the process, you can catch members of both parties with their hands in the ballot jar, you can probably be threatened by various onlookers who think you're up to something nefarious with your little digicam – and, even more interesting, at least from BLDGBLOG's perspective, you can document the spatio-architectural circumstances within which American voting takes place. For instance, in an interview I did with Detlef Mertins a few months ago, he mentioned that students at the University of Pennsylvania, back in 2004, redesigned voting booths and polling places throughout the city – so what better way to do research for similar, architecturally political projects than by showing up tomorrow, camera in hand...? For that matter, make some sketches and send 'em in.

So recharge that camera – and get your voter registration card ready...
