This web page allows you to create a new CIVS election. You will be the supervisor of the election you create.

Name of the election (e.g., The Democratic Primary):
Your name:
Your e-mail address:
The day and time when you plan to stop the election: (Note: election must be stopped manually)
Note: Your name and e-mail address are used when sending e-mail to voters. Your name should be recognizable to voters, and the e-mail address must work because CIVS emails you the information needed to control the election. If you have a spam service filtering your mail, make sure that it will not block mail from andru@cs.cornell.edu.

Description of the election and available choices (may include HTML):

Enter the names of all the choices (candidates), one per line, or upload a file containing all the choices:

How many choices will win the election:

The e-mail addresses of up to 1000 voters, one per line (more voters can be added later):

Make this a public election (voters can add themselves. Warning: there is only a token attempt to prevent multiple voting, based on voters' IP addresses).
Make results available only to a limited set of users (by default, all voters can see election results).

Enter email addresses of users permitted to view election results: (All voters can see these email addresses)

Enable detailed ballot reporting. Any election participant can view the rankings on each ballot (but not any identifying information about the voter) .

In detailed ballot report, also reveal the identity of the voter with each ballot.
Voters are not anonymous if this is checked, nor does the server discard voter email addresses as it normally does.

Allow voters to write in new choices.
Present choices on voting page in exactly the given order (by default, they are shuffled randomly on each ballot).
Allow voters to select “no opinion” for some choices.
Enforce proportional representation (useful only if there is more than one winner [more information])

For proportional representation, voters are assumed to be maximizing:
rank of their favorite choice
combined weights of selected choices
Make sure your e-mail address is correct because election information will be emailed to you. Voters will not be informed of the election's existence until you respond to this e-mail message.
