+Voting
+******
+
+The following contract is quite complex, but showcases
+a lot of Solidity's features. It implements a voting
+contract. Of course, the main problems of electronic
+voting is how to assign voting rights to the correct
+persons and how to prevent manipulation. We will not
+solve all problems here, but at least we will show
+how delegated voting can be done so that vote counting
+is **automatic and completely transparent** at the
+same time.
+
+The idea is to create one contract per ballot,
+providing a short name for each option.
+Then the creator of the contract who serves as
+chairperson will give the right to vote to each
+address individually.
+
+The persons behind the addresses can then choose
+to either vote themselves or to delegate their
+vote to a person they trust.
+
+At the end of the voting time, ``winningProposal()``
+will return the proposal with the largest number
+of votes.
