GovTrack opens up information on US legislature

07-24-2008 01:00 PM
Since 2004, GovTrack.us has housed information about the United States Congress, including 10 years of bills, voting records, and contact information for individual members of Congress. Visitors can also find out who represents them and search the database for committee assignments, legislative statistics, and the Congressional Record, which is the official record of daily proceedings in Congress. All the code that makes GovTrack run is open source, and all the information stored there is freely available to everyone.

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. SEE ALSO
