A web application that allows users to place votes by ranking several options. Once votes are placed, the selection algorithm is highly configurable. Written in Python 3 (using Flask and SQLAlchemy) and JavaScript (using Sortable). Authentication is done via LDAP. voting system that makes use of a basic scoring (voting) method to select a restaurant to order lunch from or a game to play (or any number of other things). Can also send reminders and results via Slack messages.

• flask
• flask-login
• flask-wtf
• flask-sqlalchemy
• sqlalchemy
• ldap3
• numpy
• Sortable
• slackutils (optional, for notifications via Slack)

You'll need a copy of Sortable in Vote's vote/static/sortable. I'd recommend cloning the repository to the location of your choice and then creating a symbolic link to it.

For example, if you have Vote installed to ~/Development/vote/ and you want to install Sortable to ~/Development/Sortable/:

git clone git@github.com:RubaXa/Sortable.git ~/Development/Sortable
ln -s ~/Development/Sortable ~/Development/vote/vote/static/sortable

You'll also need to create a config.py file, which specifies details such as which method to use to select winning votes (instant runoff, Condorcet, etc.), how many winners to select, how to post notifications of the winners, etc. A sample configuration file can be found at sample_config.py.

Before starting the server for the first time, run db_create.py.

Start the server with run.py. By default it will be accessible at localhost:9999. To make the server world-accessible or for other options, see run.py -h.

• Import/export of ballots/voting preferences (CSV or whatever).
• Ability to ignore selections from last time, this time.

• The "Remember Me" option on the login page doesn't seem to work anymore.

Vote was based on the earlier Lunch Voter. The weighted_sample selection function was designed by Eric Davies. Curtis Vogt did quite a bit of work on the front end.
