The Machinery of Democracy
The Smithsonian Institute in Washington has an exhibition on voting, Vote! The Machinery of Democracy, which looks at the evolution of voting techniques and shows voting processes used in different parts of the US. Objects on show include voting machines and ballot papers, including the infamous butterfly ballot used in Palm Beach County, Florida.
You can find some material online on the SI's website. In particular, I'd highlight the display of some of the work from the Chicago-based Design for Democracy.
The exhibition runs until January 2005.
