+<p>Selectricity is a flexible and powerful. This page lists some of the
+major features that Selectricity has to offer. <!-- We're adding
+features quickly. You can stay up to date on feature development on the

+ <span class="header">QuickVotes</span>
+ <span class="subheader"></span>
+</div>
+
+<p>QuickVotes are elections that are designed to be as simple and easy
+as possible. They are like polls but are built on Selectricity's
+heavy-duty election manchinery. They can be created in under a minute
+and voted on in just a few seconds.</p>
+
+<p>QuickVotes are meant for simple, quick decisions. They are not
+limited to registered lists of voters. They support simple lists of
+options -- no pictures, no position statements, and no long
+descriptions. They are simple enough to decide where a group is going to
+dinner, what you're going to name a project, or when to have a group
+meeting.</p>
+
+<p>The best way to learn more is to <%= link_to "create a quickvote",

+
+<p>Selectricity puts powerful election machinery into the palm of your
+hand.</p>
+
+<p>To use Selectricity, users need to access to a computer and a web
+browser -- which they don't always have in front of them. <%= link_to(
+"Sectricity Anywhere", :action => 'anywhere') %> solves this problem.
+It provides an interface to the system technology entirely accessible
+through short emails and optimized for sending use over email/SMS from
+any mobile phone.</p>

+ <span class="header">Elections</span>

+</div>
+
+<p>Selectricity Elections showcase all of what Selectricity has to
+offer. They support lists of candidates or choices with position
+statements and pictures and secure lists of voters. They have start and
+end dates and features to help made votes both anonymous and
+voter-verifiable.</p>
+
+<p>Selectricity Elections have been used by student groups to elect
+officers and by non-profit organizations to elect their boards of
+directors. They bring some of the best of what the world of high-tech
+election technology has to offer to bear on every day
+decision-making.</p>

+
+<p> Selectricity is voting machinery for the masses. We help groups make
+better decisions, more easily. We allow voting, usually in form of
+ranking a list of choices in order of preference, and have the computer
+help groups make better decisions.</p>
+
+<p>Selectricity is simple to use and convenient. Anyone can create the
+simplest election in under a minute and voting is even easier. Results
+can be computed instaneously.</p>
+
+<p>Selectricity is powerful and secure. It has been used for electing
+the boards of non-profit organizations and or choosing the officers of
+student groups. It is simple and fast enough to help a group decide
+where to go to dinner or when to have a meeting. It's flexible enough to
+be integrated into an outside website or used from a mobile phone.</p>

+
+<p>The <%= link_to "MIT Media Lab", "http://www.media.mit.edu" %> funded

+creation of much of Selectricity and an earlier research prototype
+called <em>HyperChad</em>.</p>
