Yes, they do generalize. And we included multi-winner in our results. Of course outreach and instructions will need tweaking, but the design principles are strong guidance.

The results display is universal - it doesn't do the calculations, but reads a spreadsheet produced by the tally system, such ashttps://www.rankedchoicevoting.org/universal_rcv_tabulator …

Our goal was to be able to present what's happening in a way that makes sense to voters, so they can trust the outcome without having to dive deep into the math.

It's not that the counting method isn't important. Of course it is. But if we can't explain how the winners won in a simple way, ranked choice voting (and all the variants) will never really be accepted.

By the way, we developed the visualization and worked on the depth of the explanations (which are linked to the results file, not embedded in the code) through usability testing with voters.

We took the presentation code far enough to be able to usability test it. If anyone wants a side project to take this demo and make robust code that an elections office can use, the folks at @RCVresources would love to talk to you.
