Looking for usable voting software using Shultz STV - Stef - Oct-23-2019

Hi,

I want to do research on the influence of voting systems on election results. For that I would like to compare ranked voting with the Shulze STV methodology against the currently used 1 vote system (used in Belgium). Does anyone know of a usable application open source Python application which would allow the following with, if necessary, minor changes:
  • Have it run on Heroku
  • Create a list of parties
  • Determine the number of ‘winners’
  • Let people cast a vote in the ‘classic’ and the Shultz STV system
  • Do an ip check to eliminate the majority of ‘double’ votes
  • Extract the results

Thanks in advance,
Stef
