What Software is Available to count PR Elections?
The DemoChoice web poll system is an open-source, cross-platform package for tallying preference voting elections. ChoicePlus by Voting Solutions is a commercial package that has been used to tally public preference voting elections in Cambridge, MA and elsewhere. Other programs have been written and used to count non-governmental PR elections, or for research purposes. According to Jim Lindsay, “Writing a program to count a Choice Voting election is not really that difficult. Any competent programmer can do it. However, writing one that is stable, supports a wide variety of options, is fast, and produces a number of reports, etc., is not at all a trivial task.” If you’ve written software to count PR elections, and you’d like to be listed here, email us!
