The fundamental problem with all the PHP-based polling tools is that
they only support majority voting (pick one from a list) and none of
the European transferable voting or count the points ranking systems.
So you can never find what second or third choice everyone would
settle for if they don't get their first choice.
I've done the design work for better systems, based on Peter Emerson's
preferendum (see the paper at http://www.qub.ac.uk/mgt/papers/prefer/),
but haven't implemented them. At present I direct people to the
SZTAKI voting system, at http://www.sztaki.hu/services/voting/. But
that is written in Java.
