Many traditional voting systems ask for a single choice per voter, and the winner is chosen based on the number of votes cast for any single choice.

In a ranked vote, voters provide ranked preferences instead of selecting a single choice, which ultimately results in a better consensus outcome.

This site helps people quickly create, run, and tally ranked voting ballots. It is free-to-use and open source. No accounts are required to create or vote on a ballot.

How it works:

1. Create a ballot with a question and possible answers.
2. Publish the ballot, creating a link to share with voters.
3. Tally the votes and derive a winner with a point-based system.

What is ranked voting good for?

• Pick a book for a book club.
• Select a movie for family night.
• Choose a vacation destination for a large group.
• Decide on a new logo for a company.
• Prioritize technical debt projects.

Free and Open Source

The open source project that powers this site is called Flick. It is written in Elixir and Phoenix Live View. It was initially built to help the Elixir Book Club pick books, but is shared with all to use and learn from.
