Simple Election System in TypeScript

This is a simplified example of an election system implemented in TypeScript. It provides basic functionality for candidate registration, vote casting, and vote counting.

Usage

#1. Create an Election System

typescript const election = new ElectionSystem();

#2. Add Candidates Candidates are registered with their names using the addCandidate method.

election.addCandidate("Candidate A"); election.addCandidate("Candidate B");

#3. Cast Votes

Votes are cast for candidates by specifying their names using the castVote method.

election.castVote("Candidate A"); election.castVote("Candidate A"); election.castVote("Candidate B");

##4. Count Votes

To count the votes and determine the winners, use the countVotes method. It returns an array of candidates sorted by the number of votes in descending order.

const results = election.countVotes();

#5. Display Results

You can display the election results using a loop:

console.log("Election Results:"); results.forEach((candidate, index) => { console.log(${index + 1}. ${candidate.name}: ${candidate.votes} votes); });

Example Output

  1. Candidate A: 2 votes
  2. Candidate B: 1 votes

Note

-This is a basic example for demonstration purposes and does not cover all aspects of a real-world election system.

  • In a production system, you would need to consider security, user authentication, and data persistence.
  • Error handling and validation have been simplified for clarity and should be more robust in a real application.
