Election style voting within Choice

Election style voting within Choice

I know that i can setup a Choice of President and another for V-P, and of course have the students choose between multiple choices, but is it possible to allow studnets to choose 4 candidates out of a field of maybe 10?  The top vote-getter to be President, the 2nd most to be V-P, etc...

Maybe another module in the works here.  Election module...

Maybe if we could have a setup to allow admin to select how many choices a voter could make.  If we were voting for just President then one choice, else maybe multiple with highest vote-getters receiving selected offices.  Does this make sense to anyone besides myself?

Sounds interesting. Have you looked at the database module? That may go some way towards helping you.

I had thought about adding an option to allow "multiple" choices - could be done relatively easily by changing the radio buttons to checkboxes, but I've got a few other things that I'm working on at the moment.... - put a feature request in the bugtracker for it, and I might get to it for 1.6

I think doing a "questionnaire" would work.  You can ask multiple questions of various types and it gives a statistical analysis at the end.  You have to download and install this module.
