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:
