Because I don't want to store your data into my database, you can choose between two options :

• Use the local storage of your browser (only you can access to your data, if you clear your browser data, you will lose your data)
• Use a Google Sheet as a database (you can share your data with other friends)

Data that has to be saved is :

• The lists of candidates
• The number of votes for each list

If you choose to use a Google Sheet, your sheet must respect a specific format :

The first sheet must contain the following columns :

Number of candidates per list is not limited, and can be different for each list.

The second sheet must have the following pattern :

Number of institutions is not limited.

When you select a Google Sheet, the URL of the page will change with the ID of the sheet. You can share this URL with your friends to let them see the results of the election.

Let's say that the URL of the Google Sheet is

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VB08Bdl9ua0OJh5HbluuycuI7jp1FAWYcuxSCw3qpm8

then the URL will be:
