Repeat all this for all categories.
And who will do the work? We had enought problems to get this voting done. This sounds to me like more work than setting the whole election up.

We need IMHO something OpenSTV is able to produce itself. Just out of the box...

What about this method: http://www.openstv.org/borda-count
Borda Count

With the Borda count, if there eight candidates competing, then a candidate gets seven points for every first ranking, six points for every second ranking, and so on. If a candidate is not ranked on a ballot then he gets no points. When more than one candidate is to be elected, the Borda count provides some degree of proportionality, but not as well as STV methods.
Does this produce a ranking? Anybody used the software before? (don't want to pay 5$ just for testing)
