Pnyx: : A Powerful and User-friendly Tool for Preference Aggregation

Pnyx is an easy-to-use and entirely web-based tool for preference aggregation that does not require any prior knowledge about social choice theory. The tool is named after a hill in Athens called Pnyx, which was the official meeting place of the Athenian democratic assembly and is therefore known as one of the earliest sites in the creation of democracy. Pnyx is available at pnyx.dss.in.tum.de.
