Agora Web is a platform for managing elections. It makes use of the Agora library which is used to count votes and provide election results. This project will focus on creating a slack application that will be used to conduct elections within slack channels using preferential voting algorithms supported by the Agora library. This application will further push the Agora library yet to another set of users who are the slack users. There are some few similar slack applications that provide such functionalities but most of them have a very short list of vote counting methods available if not one. The Agora library with its large number of voting algorithm will be used to create this slack application and consequently will provide its users with over 30 vote counting methods available.
