Australian Senate Results

Determining Senate results from the provided ballot export

Background

Following a federal election, the AEC publishes a copy of every formal ballot paper for the senate, in a CSV.
Using this data, and systems like this one, the public can recreate the senate count to determine the winners.

Setup

• Install the required gem files using ‘bundle install’
• update run file with the State you are after (eg NSW, VIC, QLD) and how many candidates to be elected
• Execute run.rb

ToDo

• optimise atl distribution
• fetch candidate list if available
• check code for unnecessary checks or variables
• order of election if two elected with same number of votes
