The 2015 LOPSA election was conducted as it has been in the past. Votes are automatically collected by software run by Matt Okeson-Harlow and at the end of the election are captured and processed by the Meek single transferable vote method. The software is available at http://www.openstv.org (although I just did a ‘yum install openstv’)and if you'd like to run the election yourself, the raw ballots are presented below.I used version 1.7 of OpenSTV.

For a more detailed explanation of the overall method, please see Greg Rose's exemplary notes at http://lopsa.org/Election2005. Other material may be found at http://www.openstv.org and Wikipedia. The abbreviated summary for this election follows below.
