Wahlfang

A self-hostable online voting tool developed to include all the features you would need to hold any online election you can dream of

Developed by StuStaNet Wahlfang is a small-ish Django project which aims at being an easy to use solution for online elections. From simple one-time votes about where to grab a coffee to large and long meetings with multiple different votes and elections - Wahlfang does it all.

If you would like a new feature or have a bug to report please open an issue over at our Gitlab.

Getting Started

$ cd wahlfang
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py runserver

Management Access

Creating a local election management user:

$ python3 manage.py create_admin

The admin interface is accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/. An admin account can also use the management interface http://127.0.0.1:8000/management/.

Generating Test Data

Either via the management interface with the credential of the superuser created above or by using the following (old) method:

Create an election:

$ python3 manage.py create_election --title "Hausadminwahl SS20 im Testhaus" --max-votes-yes 2

Create a voter:

$ python3 manage.py create_voter --election_id 1 --voter_id 1337

You can then login with the printed access code.

Contributing

Starting the server:

$ python3 manage.py runserver

If some model changed, you might have to make and/or apply migrations again:

$ python3 manage.py makemigrations
$ python3 manage.py migrate

Don't forget to add the new migration file to git. If the CI pipeline fails this is most likely the reason for it.
