In their own words
Belenios
Belenios is a free, verifiable online voting system for elections and referendums, including scientific councils and sports associations. Its hosted web platform supports standard candidate selection and preferential elections using Condorcet, Single Transferable Vote, and Majority Judgment. Weighted votes are available for standard elections. Votes are encrypted to protect individual choices, subject to the election’s decryption-key setup. Voters can check that ballots appear in a public ballot box, and anyone can verify that the result matches those ballots. Authentication options include public accounts, Google login, and CAS. The hosted service supports up to 2,500 voters per election; larger elections are directed toward institutional hosting. Belenios is also self-hostable free software under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3. Voters and email addresses cannot be changed after an election starts, and trustee key loss prevents tallying. The hosted plan is free.
