+## An API for interfacing with Selectricity

+  ## Casts a quickvote.
+  ## Expects a quickvote name, a voter ID, and a list of candidate ID's respectively.
+  ## Returns a string containing any potential errors that occurred in the process.
+  api_method :cast_quickvote, :expects => [:string, :int, [[:int]]], :returns => [:string]
+  ## Return the results of a QuickVote.
+  ## Takes in the name of a quickvote, and returns a structure as described by
+  ## QuickVoteResultStruct
+  api_method :get_quickvote_results, :expects => [:string], :returns => [QuickVoteResultStruct]
+  ## Returns information regarding all the candidates in a QuickVote
+  ## Takes in a QuickVote name, and returns the list of names and ID's of candidates
+  ## This can be useful for presenting the user with a list of readable names, while
+  ## the software sends results to us in the numeric ID's we require. The two lists are in
+  ## respective order.
+  api_method :get_quickvote_candidate_map, :expects => [:string], :returns => [QuickVoteCandidateMap]
+  ## Converts QuickVote candidate ID's to names
+  ## Takes in a QuickVote name and a list of candidate ID's, and returns the names of
+  ## each candidate. Useful for doing just a few lookups; it's more efficient to use
+  ## get_quickvote_candidate_map for presenting info about an entire election.
+  api_method :quickvote_candidate_ids_to_names, :expects => [:string,[:int]], :returns => [[:string]]
+  ## Get information on all the votes cast in a QuickVote
