OpenSTV 1.3 Released

OpenSTV version 1.3 is now available. Select "Download OpenSTV" from the top of this page to get download links.

The most significant changes in this release are the following:

  • Redesigned OpenSTV user interface: (1) User can only run an election from a saved ballot file (previously, you could use a ballot file in memory). (2) User can edit/create ballots in a separate Ballot File Editor window and save them to a file.
  • Can save election results in HTML.
  • More explanatory output for Condorcet elections.
  • Added subclasses for different ballot types to make it easier to support new types.
  • Changes under the hood that make OpenSTV easier to maintain.
