Open Source Voting

Application based on BetterVoting software which implements the advanced Star Voting method:

• https://www.equal.vote/
• https://www.starvoting.org/
• https://www.usenix.org/conference/evtwote13/workshop-program/presentation/bell
• GitHub - Equal-Vote/bettervoting: STAR Voting is an upgrade to our current way of voting that allows voters to score candidates from 0 to 5. Ultimately, STAR Voting elects candidates who better represent the whole of the electorate. We are building a site that lets everyone from individuals to organizations use STAR Voting to host simple polls or run secure elections.
