Parallel Elections Calculator

I’ve been working on a little project in my spare time to help vent the frustrations of disfranchisement. Under Canada’s current electoral system (first past the post), I can’t vote for my preferred candidate without wasting my vote. There are better systems out there, but they’re difficult to explain; Intuition and math don’t go hand in hand for most.

I hope this is a small step in the right direction: an interactive calculator that people can play with, modifying preferences and seeing what comes out of it. I’d think that most people’s intuition might agree with what Marquis de Condorcet knew back in 1785.
