I don’t know if this is too self-promotey to put in the more serious subs so I’m putting it here. I need to blag being able to do the django framework so I spent a week fannying about with it to make this. Feel free to mess about with it, give feedback or repost it on reddit or any other lemmy knock-offs.

    This is great, we need more of this. Now you just need TLSNotary for someone to be able to prove they have citizenship/are allowed to vote in that election.

      The first step in my mental roadmap for making this more than a toy is going to be user accounts and magic links, so small orgs can manually vet people for local party branches and meetings. I’ll have to look into TLSNotary.

        Awesome, ya that’s a reasonable path, if you want to skip the manual review, you could use TLSNotary or ZKEmail (proof of email) to verify/validate TLS sessions or emails (basically checks that the email was validly signed by the email server from a sender, and you can selectively reveal that the person for example, paid a utility bill in London)

      Sorry about that. Only way I could think to stop spam was to use IP as unique id. Try disconnecting from WiFi.

      Edit: if you’ve already voted, it overwrites that vote with the new one. This is just the quickest laziest way of stopping someone using a bot to skew the results.

        Wasn’t .co.uk originally meant to be for UK companies? And with .uk available, it’s just easier to not have to type three superfluous characters.

        But all in all, there’s no correct answer. I was just curious, as it’s the first chance I’ve had to ask someone that registered a new UK based tld recently.

          I think by the time .UK was available, people were already totally used to .co.uk so it’s still a bit jarring to use the new one

            Oh for sure. I don’t even see any websites trying to switch or even purchasing the .UK versions.

            It doesn’t help that we have no words that end with uk.

      Good point. I kinda rushed it and didn’t really think to check. Just bought it cause .uk is a better tld
