Condorcet Internet Voting Service - opensourceparty/Open-Source-Party GitHub Wiki

This is a placeholder for information regarding the Condorcet Internet Voting Service.

FINDINGS

(Ryan - 9/29) The Condorcet Internet Voting Service consists of a number of C libraries to run a standalone web service (? correct me if I'm mistaken there) which includes a frontend application written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for creating, administering, and executing voting functions. Furthermore it appears the service includes an Ajax Restful API of sorts which would allow the system more robust integration with other web services.

However I have not yet spun up an instance of the software to test its functionality or its API, which may not have a lot of features. They appear to have an open license, however, so it seems we're free to do whatever we want with the code.

I see some red flags in the somewhat proprietary nature of the backend stack of this software - While it's open source, it's not very well documented and if it were to have issues, we may not know how to fix them. But the algorithms and functions it uses for handling its particular type of voting seem like something that could be easily ported to other platforms.

I'll soon put together a (hopefully) public-accessible demo of the software together for us to use for further testing.
