Hi. Currently the alignment of the checkboxes are inconsistent with other form fields. It makes sense to align the checkbox and create a consistent user experience.

This was originally raised in https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28521. I wrote: I checked as far back as Django 1.4 and this positioning hasn't changed. I'm not convinced the change would be more disruptive (for example, to third-party admin customizations) than it's worth. The original designer(s) probably had a reason for the way it's laid out. You can write to the DevelopersMailingList if you want to try to get a consensus otherwise.

Hello,

At first sight, the checkbox and the label is clickable in the first example while only the checkbox is in the second example. That's a regression in usability.

Best regards,

A hybrid approach could be better. (To create this mockup I inserted an empty "label" tag.)

I believe this is designed so that when there are multiple checkboxes in a line they look like this:
