I am OK with a dedicated badge for every election cycle. However ,instead of using the Nuancier way of claiming badge I would personally prefer having a check box in the election app saying whether a voter would like to receive a badge or not and then get the badge automatically by the voting app, if a voter requested so. It will do the same job and it is IMO more simple solution that Nuancier is using.
I agree, but I wonder how to implement this. We could get a FAS account since the voter has to sign in. But I'm not sure if you could trigger awarding a badge without emitting a fedmsg event from the Elections app after someone voted (possibly compromising anonymity).
What about people wanting a badge for a specific election and not for another one (for whatever reason)?
The nuancier system allows the anonymity that is dear to a number of us while offering the flexibility of letting the user choose when to get a badge or not.
Note also that on nuancier, you don't actually have to vote to get the badge, how would it work in this situation?
I think it would be an easier workload for the Design Team to create one badge per overall election. I also feel like three badges for three elections is a lot anyways, since it's a low-effort type of task.
It would be nice if the Elections app awarded a badge to the logged-in user, so we don't have to give the claim URL to the user. But if we had to do it that way, like with Nuancier, I think it would be okay.
Sachin also volunteered to spend some time working on the Elections app to try and implement some of this, so he can probably comment further with his thoughts too.
