Gentoo Elections
----------------

Welcome to the Gentoo Elections codebase.
This handles all elections in Gentoo per the Elections project [1].

The Condercet system is used, and most of this repository exists just to house
the actual data needed to run each election, such as the start/stop time,
eligable voters, blank ballot etc.

Completed elections are available in the completed/ directory.

The codebase is meant to be checked out somewhere read-only (Gentoo
Infrastructure uses /etc/elections/), with the votify & countify scripts
symlinked into somewhere used by $PATH for normal users (eg /usr/local/bin).

Listify & election-stats-count are other helpful tools.

listify: generate text to include in MOTD 

election-stats-count: generate turnout stats for ongoing elections, for
  election officials to review an election in progress (put it in a cronjob,
  needs root).
