Election / voting script, Mambo or just PHP based

Exalted Code Master!
A client requested a voting / election system for their Mambo 4.51 based site. They want to hold their organization's elections via the web rather than paper-based ballots.

Any suggestions? Standalone would be fine if it runs via PHP, but Mambo / Joomla integrated would be better so that I can restrict voting to subsets of their membership.

My searches are digging up a number of content rating systems, but nothing for voting.

Thanks,
Tim

Hey Tim,

Here is what I found on Joomla: http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/joomla/joomla_polls.htm. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/134307/how_to_create_a_poll_in_joomla.html

It's been a few months since I have used Joomla but there is a way to get the poll to show up on the home page of the site. It might be in the content manager section.

Hope one of those help.
 
Thanks, apparently they don't have the polls module/component installed. At least I can't find it in the menus. I'm not sure it would meet the needs anyway: multiple offices (so multiple questions) and ensuring a single unique vote per member.

I'm trying to convince the client to upgrade to either the newest Mambo version or to Joomla...not that there's a voting module for those versions but at least I'd have a better chance of finding working add-ons and information!

Thanks for your help.
Tim
