VOTE v2.2.0 - Typescript!

This release is fully compatible with the previous v2.1.0 release and no logic or UI has changed. However, the codebase has been massively improved by converting all server-side code to typescript. In addition, many core dependencies have been updated to newer versions.

This should make VOTE much safer with strict type checking, as well as make future changes easier and safer. This is a first step in modernizing the codebase, where next we will be rewriting the frontend to something other than AngularJS (EOL mid 2023).

VOTE v2.1.0 - Normal Elections

New in this release

When creating v2.0.0 we made major breaking changes to most schemas and re-invented what a vote and an alternative really is. We created priorities to make sure that a vote could support a full ballot of elections. This made Normal elections as we knew them obsolete, and VOTE only supported STV election from then on. To have a simple yes/no election was hard. The people who voted on elections could in theory vote both "Yes" and "No" on elections.

Specifically we have:

• New Election.type that can be "Normal" or "STV"
• New Admin GUI for creating elections, where you now can select type
• New (old) User GUI for voting on normal elections
• New Admin GUI for viewing the result of Normal elections

VOTE v2.0.0 - Single Transferable Vote

New in this release

Single transferable vote

VOTE now uses single transferable vote!
This means there is different logic for how to create elections, vote on elections, as well as determine winners of an election. VOTE now supports elections where there can be more than 1 winner, and the users can create a prioritized ballot of their preferred candidates.

Specifically we have:

• Major UI changes for voting on elections
• Support for elections with >1 winners
• Support for enforcing >2/3 of the votes (only for elections with 1 winner)
• Votes now contain an array of references to the elections candidates, as well as the election itself, instead of just one candidate.
• The result of the election can be calculated in the admin page using our implementation of the STV algorithm.

Other

• Users can be generated using an identifier and an email address to send an auto generated username and password to the specified email.
• Elections support the use of an auto generated four-digit code to be able to vote on an election. This code is different per election. This is to be able to confirm "presence" when using VOTE at a digital event.
