If you wanna try out QV with some friends: https://quadraticvote.co/ https://quadraticvote.co/ Also, shameless self plug for this toy I made that lets you compare first-past-the-post, quadratic, ranked choice, approval and about 2 dozen other voting systems: https://votevote.page/ https://votevote.page/ Basically the voters and the candidates are colors. How much a voter prefers a candidate is a factor of their RGB distances (sorta)

Very nice! I am working on a very similar project ( https://www.elzear.de/posts/2021-01-10-polls https://www.elzear.de/posts/2021-01-10-polls , https://rank-votes.vercel.app https://rank-votes.vercel.app) but I had never seen your work, thanks for sharing!

  Oh cool. I only knew of 2 or 3 similar projects before starting this project, but since then I've come across dozens of other ones. I'll add to my list. Some day I'll add a webring of similar projects on my site Mine is currently lacking in Condorcet methods. The original prototype of it had a few more condorcet methods in it, but the core reason I wanted to rebuild it was to make heavy use of cacheing. E.g. no reason why both STAR and Borda should have to make the same calculation twice. Or why all these head to head methods need to produce the same exact matrix. So I have this "SuperElection" class that tries to break things down as much as possible I think this did in fact help my performance but it's also made everything so... interconnected. Definitely been a good learning journey. But I might just re-implement kemeny-young and some others in a less efficient way and worry about optimizing them later

Also some cool new features in the dev deployment of it: https://dev--votevote.netlify.app/ https://dev--votevote.netlify.app/ I've been meaning to finish polishing it for a month now, but it's been hard to find the time. You know how it goes. Lots more voting systems and cool features are in the works though
