Maybe, although people that'd be suitable for the committee would likely
be excellent candidates in their own right. And I'd worry that'd make
for a conflict of interest.
The one site I've looked at so far is:
http://www.opavote.org
Their service is free for elections lasting 7 days, with up to 20
candidates and 50 voters, or double that for $5. The form has us
provide a list of candidate names to select from, and upload a list of
valid emails who will be emailed the voting directions, secret access
codes, and links. Alternatively or in addition, we can download a list
of secret codes to provide to voters some other way.
The form allows selection from about two dozen different types of voting
methods, including ten different types of STV(!)
There are other sites that provide STV services; this is the only one
I've looked at.
