Travis County VDR Toolkit
The Travis County Voter Registration Toolkit is the resource hub for Volunteer Deputy Registrars (VDRs) — the trained volunteers who register their neighbors and help keep Travis County over 90% registered. It gathers the training, programs, events, and materials a VDR needs in one place.
The program had outgrown its original website. B-59 rebuilt it from the ground up: we migrated every page of the legacy site into a fast, accessible, installable web app, and organized the content so the office can keep it current without touching code.
What we did
- Migrated the full content library and restructured it as typed data — so editing a page means editing content, not markup.
- Designed a calm, non-partisan civic identity in Travis County navy and Texas gold, built on our shared civic design system.
- Built to WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, with a published accessibility statement.
- Shipped it as a Progressive Web App — installable to a phone's home screen and usable offline.
- Recovered and curated the program's original artwork and infographics, and documented a clear media and content hand-off.
How it relates to ready2vote
The two projects serve different people. ready2vote helps an individual voter complete their own registration application. The VDR Toolkit serves the volunteers who register other people — training, programs, and field resources. Together they cover both sides of getting Texans registered.
