As far as I understood, the intent is, besides gathering votes, to 
demonstrate the web-based polling system. The ballots are therefore 
available in the OpenSTV format and can be counted by any program that 
can read that kind of ballot. The page itself doesn't calculate any 
winners, it just makes the ballots available for those who would want to 
do that calculation.
