Who is the Polling poster for?

Polling belongs to the Political Science section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning elections & voting can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Polling poster?

A poll estimates opinion at a moment, with error from sampling and from who responds. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Polling belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Polling?

What size does the Polling poster print at?

Polling is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Polling loses nothing.Printing guide
