Well, Debian uses devotee to conduct project leader elections(it uses the Condorcet method). http://vote.debian.org/, and navigate to the left to see how devotee provides results (look at the 2008 project leader elections -- project leader elections have a secret ballot, and a means for the voter to verify their votes without letting everyone else know how they voted)
I haven't packaged devotee yet (it needs a rewrite, to make itmore flexible for other folks (like, not have to do a gpg _and_ an LDAP check), but since it works for me, the rewrite is not very high on the list of things to do.
