SimpleVote — An open-source, live updating, voting platform.
SimpleVote is an open-source, self-hostable, live-updating voting/polling platform, for both live meetings, or extended polls.
Polls can be dynamic, meaning users can(if allowed) contribute options and questions themselves.
It uses range voting (also known as olympic score voting) for all your poll options. Range voting is more expressive than simple 👍 or 👎 votes (IE approval). It also beats out IRV, and first past the post for minimizing voter regret.
Features:
- Polls can have multiple questions.
- Anyone can edit, delete, or create additional questions, and options (if allowed by the creator), at anytime.
- Live chat on the sidebar.
- Questions can have expiration times, and thresholds (Making sure options with too few votes don't win).
- Easily shareable poll links.
- Image and markdown support for all questions and candidates.
- Questions can hide voter names (anonymous voting).
- Questions can be either Range, or Pointing Poker style.
Tech used:
- Java Spark, Bootstrap v4, Angular4, Angular-cli, ng2-bootstrap, ActiveJDBC, Liquibase, Postgres, Markdown-it, angular2-toaster

Here are some instructions to get your DB up and running.
psql -c "create user simplevote with password 'asdf' superuser"
psql -c 'create database simplevote with owner simplevote;'cd simplevote
vim service/pom.xmlEdit it to point to your own database:
<!--The Database location and login, here's a sample-->
<jdbc.url>jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/simplevote</jdbc.url>
<jdbc.username>simplevote</jdbc.username>
<jdbc.password>asdf</jdbc.passwordFor local testing:
./install_dev.sh and goto http://localhost:4567/
For a production environment, edit ui/src/environments/environment.prod.ts to point to your hostname, then run:
./install_prod.sh
You can redirect ports in linux to route from port 80 to this port:
sudo iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 4567
