Until now, we've stored the text of the answer somebody replied to. The idea was to handle the scenarios where the user voters for an option but then that option is deleted and restored, or the texts of the options are accidentally edited and so the option "Yes" is now "Now" and vice versa. However, since commit3a6e99cb8, options can no longer be edited once the poll starts, so there's no risk of the option changing once somebody has voted. This means we can now store the ID of the option that has been voted. That'll also help us deal with a bug introduced int673ec075e, since answers in different locales are not counted as the same answer. Note we aren't dealing with this bug right now. We're still keeping (and storing) the answer as well. There are two reasons for that. First, we might add an "open answer" type of questions in the future and use this column for it. Second, we've still got logic depending on the answer, and we need to be careful when changing it because there are existing installations where the answer is present but the option_id is not. Note that we're using `dependent: nullify`. The reasoning is that, since we're storing both the option_id and the answer text, we can still use the answer text when removing the option. In practice, this won't matter much, though, since we've got a validation rule that makes it impossible to destroy options once the poll has started. Also note we're still allowing duplicate records when the option is nil. We need to do that until we've removed every duplicate record in the database.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY
Citizen Participation and Open Government Application
This is the opensource code repository of the eParticipation website CONSUL DEMOCRACY, originally developed for the Madrid City government eParticipation website, and currently maintained by the open source software community in collaboration with the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation.
Documentation
Check the ongoing documentation to learn more about how to start your own CONSUL DEMOCRACY fork, install it, customize it and learn to use it as an administrator/maintainer.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation and project website
You can access the main website of the project at http://consuldemocracy.org where you can find information about the use of the platform, the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation, the global community of users and local partners, news, and ways to get more support or get in touch.
Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions check the docs
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.2.4, CMake, pkg-config, shared-mime-info, Node.js 18.20.3 and PostgreSQL (>=9.5).
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
cd consuldemocracy
bin/setup
bin/rake db:dev_seed
Run the app locally:
bin/rails s
You can run the tests with:
bin/rspec
Note: running the whole test suite on your machine might take more than an hour, so it's strongly recommended that you setup a Continuous Integration system in order to run them using parallel jobs every time you open or modify a pull request (if you use GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, this is already configured in .github/workflows/tests.yml and .gitlab-ci.yml) and only run tests related to your current task while developing on your machine. When you configure the application for the first time, it's recommended that you run at least one test in spec/models/ and one test in spec/system/ to check your machine is properly configured to run the tests.
You can use the default admin user from the seeds file:
user: admin@consul.dev pass: 12345678
But for some actions like voting, you will need a verified user, the seeds file also includes one:
user: verified@consul.dev pass: 12345678
Configuration for production environments

Current state
Development started on 2015 July 15th. Code was deployed to production on 2015 september 7th to decide.madrid.es. Since then new features are added often. You can take a look at the current features at the project's website and future features at the Roadmap and open issues list.
