<p>OpenSTV is 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.</p>
<p>Organizations can use OpenSTV to implement their own elections.
First, the organization must adopt a voting method. Second, the
organization must conduct the vote, and this will most likely be done
with paper ballots. Third, the ballots must be entered into the OpenSTV
program. Finally, you can use OpenSTV to count the votes and determine
the winners of the election.</p>
