Material Culture Displays

The assembled displays will provide insights into voting culture and history, showcasing a curated collection of ballots, a voting machine training device, informative "field guides" to ballot design and other voting ephemera. Highlights of the exhibition include a mechanical voting machine training unit, used to instruct voters on the use of mechanical voting machines dating back to the late 19th/early 20th centuries. The exhibition will also include a diverse range of ballots from around the world, as well as election posters and campaign ephemera from various post-communist states, including campaign flags from Ukrainian parties and other branded items. Visitors are invited to engage with a diverse array of objects accompanied by descriptive text illuminating their significance.
