views/admin/votes/create.php line 60

var limit = 2; //set vote limit here
$('input[type=checkbox]').on('change', function (e) {
    if ($('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length > limit) {
        $(this).prop('checked', false);
        alert("You are only allowed to vote for "+limit+" candidates.");
    }
});

controller/admin/votes.php line 50

public function create()
{
	$this->template->title('Cast Vote');

	if($this->input->post('submit'))
	{
		$can_ids = $this->input->post('can_ids');
		$can_ids_count = count($can_ids);

		if($can_ids !== false)
		{
			$limit = 2; //set limit here
			if($can_ids_count >= $limit)
			{
				
				foreach($can_ids as $can_id)
				{

controller/admin/candidates.php line 58

public function results()
{
...
	$vote_count = $page['vote_count'];
	//hardcoded
	$limit = 2; //set limit here
	$page['voters_count'] = $vote_count/$limit;

Recommendations for future versions:

1. Vote Limit must be an attribute of the settings model. This is to avoid hardcoding.

2. Archiving and comparison of past rounds of votes. This is to see trends easily in one page, and to avoid taking screenshots of voting results page per round.

3. Improve access privileges function for admin and user (voter) in the controllers. Make sure that voters cannot access the voting results by all means.

4. Create ballot model (or table) that has the list of chosen candidates of a voter. One submitted form is a ballot. Database speak, one ballot has many votes.
