The site looks a bit dated. Let's update it 💃

It should support the features described by #31 and possibly #32

In addition to supporting the new features, I think some useful things might be...

  • indicating which election is coming up next (and when it is!)
  • link to the relevant candidate websites
  • absentee ballot info

(but these are basically porting information from the Cambridge Election Commission's website, haha)

So a basic idea is having a tabbed interface, with early voting information in one tab and election day information in the other. During early voting the site could by default show the early voting tab, and on election day we can disable the early tab and default show the election day tab.

Overall

  • The About link in the nav bar can open a modal with the basic "who made this" info
  • The more info link can link directly to the Cambridge Election Commission site
  • more details on the tabs below...

In each tab

Each tab will work slightly differently, since early voting works slightly differently from election day voting.

Early Voting

Can freely click around the different locations. Clicking a location will show that location's information in the right area. If no location is selected, it can show general information related to the concept of early voting.

Election Day Voting

Much like the current site, you must enter a location to proceed. After finding your address it will find directions and show them in the right area (much like now).

I welcome any comments. These are some big changes so we might have to discuss the best way to iterate towards this.
