A ballot is stronger than a bullet.

Civic vocabulary · public domain

Ballot., Quorum

The instrument itself.

"Vote" is the act. "Ballot" is the instrument. The piece of paper, the screen, the physical thing that turns a citizen's intent into a counted result. Naming the instrument is a quieter, more procedural move, and procedure is the point.

Why both messages exist.

Quorum runs Vote and Ballot as a pair. One is the verb, one is the noun. Together they cover the whole act, the doing and the thing done with. A customer outfitting a kit can carry both without redundancy.

How we set it.

Declarative Archivo Narrow, uppercase, heavy. The same register as Vote, so the pair reads as a set. Plain, civic, built for the street.
