Mock Elections in School

[Viktor_]

Hi There,

 

Next Thursday we're hoping to run a mock election in school. We want to setup some laptops in booths and get the students to enter one at a time and cast a vote.

 

While keeping a tally somewhere, does anyone know of any software that would be able to do this?

 

 

Thanks!

Never used it myself but would something like SurveyMonkey be ueful

We're looking to do something similar here and I think we'll end up using the Promethean voting handsets. That's if they're still working after sitting in cupboards for five years.

I was thinking that, but I wanted some kind of laptop thing.

 

the problem we have is letting one laptop vote several times (as the students swap over)

We're running one and to keep it as realistic as possible, we've got a proper polling booth with a proper ballot box and somebody is going to be counting paper ballots by hand.

On SurveyMonkey there is a option to have the survey load back to the start.

We are doing this, but just keeping it to paper and marking with a 'X' just like the real thing.

Do it via your VLE if they have a form-based page that will allow multiple submissions like our Firefly does.

Ditto.

 

Four halls, in one door, collect ballot paper from three desks, go and mark it at other desks, then post in ballot boxes near separate exit door.
