Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Australian Senate Voting Algorithms
This is an implementation of the Australian Senate Voting algorithm as described by the AEC. The AEC won't show us their code, but we can still verify their results using an independent implementation!
You can read more about this project on Medium.
All code in Rust.
Running the Code
To download all the CSV files, verify their integrity and run the elections, just do this:
$ ./run.py
You'll need Python and a Rust compiler.
You can also run elections for a few states of your choice:
$ ./run.py NSW SA
Other Implementations
Grahame Bowland maintains a Python implementation of the same algorithm, and hosts a nice site with the results:
