OPENSTV(1) General Commands Manual OPENSTV(1)NAME
OpenSTV - Single Transferable Vote and Instant Runoff Voting Software
SYNOPSIS
openstv
DESCRIPTION
OpenSTV is an open-source software for implementing the single transferable vote and other voting methods such as instant runoff voting,
condorcet voting, and approval voting. OpenSTV is the only open-source software that implements the single transferable vote exactly as
used by governments, including Scotland and the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts. These methods have been extensively verified against
other software and/or actual election results.
Organizations can use OpenSTV to implement their own elections. First, the organization must adopt a voting method. Second, the organiza-
tion must conduct the vote, and this will most likely be done with paper ballots. Third, the ballots must be entered into the OpenSTV pro-
gram. Finally, you can use OpenSTV to count the votes and determine the winners of the election.

When searching for new posts, I see that my voting in one of the polls counts as a 'new post'. However, while the '<blah> minutes ago' entry updates correctly, the 'by <username>' is the last user to actually post a comment in the poll instead.

Since most of the polls in "The Lounge" are subjective and quite some are asking about things that might change over time (examples here, here and here), I think it might be a good idea to allow a change of mind on (some) polls.
A vBulletin mod that can do that is available here
