Welcome to the ABIF Web Tool (awt), an online tool for analyzing elections using multiple voting methods including IRV/RCV, Approval, STAR, and Condorcet/Copeland. ABIF is the "Aggregated Ballot Information Format", which is a reasonably simple way to express election results, whether those elections were conducted with ranked (ordinal) ballots, rated (cardinal) ballots, or just a list of checkboxes next to the candidates (as done with plurality and approval elections).
Explore our collection of {{ election_list|length }} elections from real-world contests and theoretical examples. Compare how different voting methods would change outcomes using the same ballot data.
Enter your own election data in ABIF format to see an analysis of said election across multiple voting methods.
The Aggregated Ballot Information Format (ABIF) enables cross-method analysis by preserving complete ballot information. This allows researchers to study how different counting methods affect electoral outcomes while keeping voter preferences constant.
