Does anyone know of good open source voting software?

Question

I am looking for a voting system that we can implement at work among our developers.

We need something that allows developers to submit ideas on what we can do to improve our development methods (among other things), and then ask all developers to vote on ideas to let everyone know which ideas we should try to implement first . For example, our developers could list ideas for parts of our code base that need to be improved / cleaned, and we can collectively vote on which parts to start over.

Something like www.uservoice.com may be one way to get what we need, but I still want to look at alternatives.

Unfortunately, a Google search for voting and polls simply does not bring any useful results, because most of them seem to be focused on elections and polls, and not so that people can make suggestions and vote for them.

Does anyone know of any software system that could do what I'm looking for? Better yet, who has such a system designed for developers in the workplace? I would be interested to know if this is useful at all.

Have you watched Idea Torrent ? It has a good user interface, you can submit ideas, and people will comment and vote for them. They didn’t use themselves, but it was adopted by SourceForge and Ubuntu.
