~-~-~- cyberia voting system -~-~-~

        (or cvs for short)

the cyberia voting system is a set of tools intended to be used by the secretary
to tally votes for a given thing. following the debian project, it uses the
[condercet method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method) for voting,
and the [schulze method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method) to select
a winner.

there are a few components:

=== polld ===

polld is a daemon that runs a website that can be used for the following purposes:

- make a temporary poll
- view the results of a given poll

polld makes no attempt to store data and all data within it is considered
ephemeral.  to permanently store the results of a poll, just copy+paste the poll
results page (it's all plaintext) also note that polld simply allows users to
rank items and submit those rankings + their name, it makes no attempts to
determine the winner of a given poll.
