I made a website that lets you use ranked choice voting in a mock UK General Election to explain how it works. (publicslate.co.uk)

I don't know if this is too self-promotey to put in the more serious subs so I'm putting it here. I need to blag being able to do the django framework so I spent a week fannying about with it to make this. Feel free to mess about with it, give feedback or repost it on reddit or any other lemmy knock-offs.

This is great, we need more of this. Now you just need TLSNotary for someone to be able to prove they have citizenship/are allowed to vote in that election.

The first step in my mental roadmap for making this more than a toy is going to be user accounts and magic links, so small orgs can manually vet people for local party branches and meetings. I'll have to look into TLSNotary.

Awesome, ya that's a reasonable path, if you want to skip the manual review, you could use TLSNotary or ZKEmail (proof of email) to verify/validate TLS sessions or emails (basically checks that the email was validly signed by the email server from a sender, and you can selectively reveal that the person for example, paid a utility bill in London)
