BACKGROUND
The product is a voter’s registration responsive website designed for the Philippines election. Registering for the election has been a long process that is done in person, which means long queues. The primary target of the website is to allow Filipinos to register easily no matter where they are.
PROBLEM
Increased time and hurdles deter voters
Due to the Covid pandemic, registering to vote is costing the voter’s extra time out of their lives to register due to the extra precautions needed. This includes limited registration slots, shortened registration hours, and ineffective registration sites. The registration process is a long process. This can hinder many from registering.
SOLUTION
Enhance the Filipino experience with convenient online registration
Design a responsive website that enhances the registration experience for Filipinos by providing the convenience of anytime, anywhere registration. 68% of the Philippines population have access to the internet. Offering online registration as an option can alleviate the congestion of in-person queues and simplify the registration process for Filipinos.
The first time voter Persona
IDEATION
After creating the sitemap, I did the Crazy Eights ideation exercise to come up with idea for how to approach the design of the website following my research on what requirements were needed. My focus was specifically on registration form.
LOW-FIDELITY PROTOTYPE
To prepare for usability testing, I created a low-fidelity prototype that connected the user flow of checking eligibility to finally registering to vote.

The final product
HIGH-FIDELITY DESIGN
The high-fidelity prototype followed the same user flow as the low-fidelity prototype, including design changes made after the usability study.
TAKEAWAYS
What I’d do differently next time.
The final project for the Google UX Certification Programme was dedicated to creating an app or website for social good. I chose the prompt of creating a responsive website for voter’s registration. This coincide with the recent election in the Philippines. As we don’t have an online registration platform, I thought that exploring the idea would be beneficial. A few things I’ve learned:
Practice makes perfect. As someone coming from the hospitality industry, I don’t have much experience in design. I definitely still have a long way to go in terms of my UI skills (100 days of UI perhaps).
Diligence. I learned that even though some obstacles I encountered were overwhelming, diligently going through each step of the design process and focusing on user needs helped me to create a feasible and useful solution.
