The database now contains full attendance details for all votes.  Previously, for votes where a member did not vote, it was not possible to determine whether the person was not a Town Meeting member at that point, whether the person was absent that night, or whether the person was present and chose not to vote.  The setup page now has an option in the Attendance section to "Display detailed attendance codes".  If you select this option, your results will include codes indicating whether the person was a non-member, was absent, or was present and not voting.  See the attendance section of the documentation for more details.

A new feature on the database output - condensed output format, which allows you to shrink the results table by using a smaller font, tighter margins, and shorter text ("Y" and "N" instead of "YES" and "NO").  This makes it easier to get more information on a page, particularly for printed output.

Tally vote results came out this morning for the final session of the Fall 2008 Special Town Meeting, and are now available in the tallyvotes.org database.

Welcome to TallyVotes.org.  This site contains the tally vote database for Town Meeting for Amherst, Massachusetts.  The database was previously hosted on inAmherst.com, but since that site is no longer regularly updated, the database has been moved here to its own site, to make it more accessible.

You can access the database by clicking the "Go to the database" link at the top of the screen, or by clicking one of the predefined search links at the top of the screen.  For more information about how the database works, click the help link located at the top of each screen.
