Software for online voting/web based elections?

AES
Can anyone point to software or HTML code (preferably shareware or
modest cost, preferably Mac or PC based) that would permit a small
organization to carry out a simple election with online voting by its
members?

(including identifying individual voters against a membership password
list, keeping track of votes, customizing the ballot, and so on --
although massive security precautions are not required)

Listening to National Public Radio while reading comp.lang.python. What a life! I just heard a piece on NPR about the security failures of an electronic voting system being developed. I know a voting system could be developed in python. I am working on a simulator myself to run via the web (a personal project only) Are there any features which would make python a viable alternative to develop a real voting system for use in the US? Why...

Hi All I've used couple of GPL/free voting scripts (some of these are very good), but need to create/find one that allows users to add a new answer. For example: This is a voting question - which answer is the best? a) answer a b) answer b c) add your own answer, vote for it and allow next voter to see this answer as voting option.

I've got a voting script that's a little too simple. I can vote as as many times as I can click on the link in my browser. I'n not trying to write an official voting system but I would like to do something as simple as catching the user's IP address and remembering it for a time interval. That has it's own problems, but it would at least prevent double clicks. I can get the IP #, but how do I store it on a server? I can do a flat file...

Hi all. Is it possible to implement an accurate voting mechanism (think digg.com) that does not require users to sign in before voting? I think for many people registering is pain and thus they rarely give their votes online. Just look at digg and compare the number of votes to the number of people visiting their website. IOW what if somebody needs votes but cannot afford to bother users with registration process?

I'm just starting to learn PHP. I have a website where we are collecting votes for something. I want to use cookies to deter people from re-voting (yes, this is not efficient if they're smart enough to turn their cookies off). I seem to have successfully created a cookie, and then code to read that cookie and redirect. However, it places the cookie before looking for the cookie, so it immediately redirects, rather than redirecting on the...

Hi there, I'm creating a PHP/XML-based voting system. There are 24 options for a user to vote from, and ideally I'd like the user to see a picture of each person they vote for. So far, I've managed to list all the names of people up for voting from a "poll.xml" file in my "poll.php" file which is what web users will go to in order to vote. It also correctly updates the tally in the XML file when a person is voted for. The only thing that doesn't...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
