  Hi all,

  I'm Arend Peter and I'm one of the software volunteers with STAR Voting

  I'm going to try posting occasional updates here to keep everyone in the loop on the projects we're working on. We also have an overview here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LgbM4XqKsBOT5zWq-5S7UiqUjDRoK7Q6jAqhskDi6zI/edit

  Star.vote 2.0

  We're working on revamping the star.vote website using react. The will have a bunch of new features like supporting many voting methods (IRV, Approval, STAR-PR, Ranked Robin, etc), supporting multi-race elections and making it easier to be used for large scale elections. Most of it is already functional and you can see the work in progress here https://star-vote.herokuapp.com

  Discord bot

  We're making a bot to help run elections on discord in python

  Side note: this uses the same backend as star.vote 2.0, if anyone is working on other apps for running elections (ex. slack, or this forum), let us know and we can probably setup our backend to support it

  Starpy

  This is a collection of python scripts for running star voting elections
