Online Voting Software/Systems

Hi all,
I'm not entirely sure whether this is the right board for this question but of all boards in the arch forums it seems most appropriate to me.
I am looking for an online voting software or system, preferably one that runs on Linux (but much of it might be php/python/perl software running with apache and the appropriate script engine and therefore system independent anyway). All a google search turned up for me was a list of software http://www.linuxlinks.com/Web/Portal/Voting/ which however seems somewhat outdated (most of the projects seem to be dead with most recent versions from 2007 or 2004 or 2001; some of the links are broken) and some scholarly papers on the topic.
Does anyone know a more up to date list of such software or have a good specific suggestion.
(The purpose for which I need it is to set up a secret and secure, thus preferably with cryptographic keys, voting software for a small or rather small organization. It's therefore neither reasonable to try to buy commercial software nor to try to develop such a software so I tried to come up with a good suggestion but failed so far.)
Thanks; any suggestions, links, comments are appreciated.

Thanks fukawi2, LimeSurvey looks like a good solution; I just had a look at the manual - it seems to come with all the features necessary for a secret and secure election. I will give it a try.
Nevertheless, in case anyone knows of any further similar software, I'd welcome a link ...
Thanks.

  • Online voting & Security

    Hello all!!
    I am going to develop an online voting system but have no clue of hoe to do it!!!
    I will use servlets that will provide information about the candidates and allow voters to place their votes. The system shoul count the votes and be able to produce graphs and other statistics about the vote.
    Security is also a main issue. I will have to prevent users from voting more than once and also protect the main system from being tampered with once the voting period has commenced.
    I plan to connect with an MS access db to store all relevent information.
    Can any body help?

    Sounds interesting !!!
    The way I see it there are couple of visible components ion your system
    1: You will have voters
    Now the voters can be invited by the Administrator to register. This means people can register only by invitation OR people are free to come and register to vote. In the latter approach you will not be able to ensure that someone is not registering twice. But then this is more of specification decision rather than technical decision
    2: You will need candidiates
    You have to decide who all will be the candidates. Would the admin designate candidates or can people register themselves to be candidates if they have 2/3 supporters..
    If for your purpose the candidiates are not humans- this section will change eg if the candidates are couple of suggestions for a prty location
    3: Then comes the election period
    The start and end of the elections
    4: Finer points
    Can a voter change his/her mind before the result ?
    Can he/she see the results before he votes -
    Can he/she see the results after he votes ?
    and so forth
    I would suggest that you should first decide what you want the system to do and behave . Then you can decide about the technology -
    First try to think about Whats o fthe application without thinking about Hows.
    That was my two-pence...

  • Distributed Software Systems & Serialization

    Can someone please explain why the ability to be able to serialise an object and then de-serialise it, has such a vital role in the building of Java based distributed software systems.
    Many thanks

    Serialization allows you to create 'persistent objects' A serialised object can be written to a persistent store - such as a hard drive - and restored at a later stage.

  • Online Hotel Booking System

    Hi All,
    I used to hang out here quite often a while back (normally in the Java Programming section) and would pay quite a lot of attention to threads, maps and data structures.
    I want to put together a simple online hotel booking system as my own pet project to get a bit of expereince in JSP and web technologies -
    I ve picked up an Oreily book on this toic but does anyone know where I can find an example online hotel booking system which I can use to learn from? I m pretty sure these types of apps have been written in the past but there was not much on Sourceforge
    Any ideas?

    The server doesn't know what a booking is - how could it do anything for you? Your problem is also not about code synchronization - it is perfectly valid for two people to process a booking at the same time, it is only not valid to process the exact same booking at the same time.
    Me - I'd pretend that there is no such thing as two people booking the same slot at the same time - until the very last moment where you actually commit the booking to a particular person. One of them is going to be first and that's the winner, in the other's case before saving you'd check the database if it is already taken and then inform the user that he/she's out of luck. The stupid and easy solution that is also quite safe.

  • Online Voting Gallery Help

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to setup some online voting for a non-profit. It would consist of 25 photos and the public could go vote for their favorite design. I need to keep this very simple as far as time setting it up and maintaining it goes. They would like online tallying of votes to show. I've never done survey or voting pages before and I'm not sure how to go about this. I would love some ideas or links for support. I'm currently designing in GoLive CS2 but I do have Dreamweaver; I just haven't had the time to switch over.
    Thank you in advance!

    I received a skype call from "Online help - Perform System Maintenance" and when I answered the phone, it was a computerized voice that started discussing that my computer, which happens to be a mac, is not running "very well." Is there a way to drop a virus through a Skype call? I quit and restarted Skype. How do I block this number/caller? I have Sophos anti virus on the my mac, but maybe this is a skype only virus...or something designed for windows. Very odd. Can anyone assist?

  • Manufacturing Information Access Software System (joke)

    Something I found while surfing around...
    Enjoy,
    Juan
    MIASS
    Subject: Manufacturing Information Access Software System (MIASS)
    This memo is to announce the development of a new plant- wide software system. We are currently building a data warehouse that will contain all plant manufacturing data. The program is referred to as the "Manufacturing Information Access Software System" (MIASS).
    Next Monday at 9:00 there will be a meeting in which I will show MIASS. We will continue to hold demonstrations throughout the month so that all employees will have an opportunity to get a good look at MIASS.
    As for the status of the implementation of the program, I have not addressed the networking aspects so currently only one person can be in MIASS at a time. This should change as MIASS expands.
    Several people are using the program already and have come to depend on it. Just this morning I walked into a subordinate's office and was not surprised to find that he had his nose buried in MIASS. I've noticed that some of the less technical personnel are somewhat afraid of MIASS. Just last week, when asked to enter some information into the program, I had a secretary say to me "I'm a little nervous, I've never put anything in MIASS before." I volunteered to help her through her first time and when we were through she admitted that it was relatively painless and she was actually looking forward to doing it again. She went so far as to say that after using SAP and Oracle, she was ready to kiss MIASS.
    I know there are concerns over the virus that was found in MIASS upon initial installation, but I am pleased to say the virus has been eliminated and we were able to save MIASS. In the future, however, protection will be required prior to entering MIASS.
    We planned this database to encompass all information associated with the business. So as you begin using the program, feel free to put anything you want into MIASS. As MIASS grows larger, we envision a time when it will be commonplace to walk by an office and see a manager hand a paper to an employee and say "Here, stick this in MIASS."
    This program has already demonstrated great benefit to the company during recent OSHA and EPA audits. After requesting certain historical data the agency representatives were amazed at how quickly we provided the information. When asked how the numbers could be retrieved so rapidly our Environmental Manager proudly stated "Simple, I just pulled them out of MIASS".

    Everyone has a MIASS...
    The trick is to validate all input, encode all output and regularly apply patches from the software vendors

  • Can anyone recommend online flatplan software

    can anyone recommend online flatplan software where several users can update and view the flatplan online and place pdfs of finished pages please?

    Unlike MacGunt, I have used Bento and love it. With the little bit of work I did at IBM using M$ Access, I found Bento to be head and shoulders above it. Access always seemed kludgy to me at best whereas Bento is an honest to goodness database manager.
    Seeing as how I retired now I don't have any business usage for it but I do it find it very useful for the club work I need to do.
    Two features I like are the templates which cover a broad range of database usage. I would think that one of those would be able to help you get started with your business needs. The other is the app which allows me to have the Bento database on my iPhone.
