Local execution & Library

• Condorcet PHP: Command-line application and PHP library natively including dozens of methods under a single interface. And a modular framework for implementing more.

Online election calculators

Open Standards

• Condorcet Election Format: The `Condorcet Election Format` is a free and standardized open election description standard. Its objective is to define an election, its parameters, its candidates, and its votes. The objective of this format is to be easily written and read by a human, with the rigor and precision necessary for ingestion by a program.
• Election Markup Language
