@baldur If I was making that, i would make a dedicated pages for candidates, with their photo, name, official details, and 🎉 programme, and section with "Do you want to endorse [Candidate name] as presidential candidate?" question and Yes/ no buttons... And way for candidate to share link to that their [candidate page].

Well, I guess, the UX still has to comply with the voting laws...
But knowing how many Bjarni Jónssons (and the like) there must be in Iceland, it could be difficult to endorse the right person among those 82... There could easily be 2 people with the same name.
Note also the "Agnieszka" in the screenshotted list (it's a pretty common Polish first name, so I guess there is more than one Icelandic woman with it).
I wonder what the risk level is of someone else intentionally and "maliciously" registering you to be a candidate!
All citizens over 35 years old are at risk!!!
And (for the mistaken and "victims"), I wonder what the odds are of getting endorsed -- from the long list confusing people, so they chose randomly or incorrectly. It's 1,500 out of the 382,000 population.
@baldur Absolutely love this! A great example of why good UX design matters - and just putting yourself into the user's shoes instead of bashing out something that's "hey, good enough!"
@baldur Also turns out it’s fun trying to vote from overseas. Quite why this requires citizens to visit the bloody embassy is beyond me. What a waste of time/resources/energy.
@craiggrannell Oh, lord yeah. The hassle I used to have to go through to vote when I was living in the UK and Canada was unbelievable. A couple of times I actually just timed trips home to coincide with elections just to make sure I’d be able to vote. So badly thought out.
