tally_chart.py

"""A program is required to register user votes for a talent contest involving 5
candidates. The user will select the candidate they wish to vote for in order to
register their vote.
When all the votes have been cast the program should sort the candidates
into order based on the number of votes they have received. The result will
then be output to the screen.
Your program should display the list of candidates and prompt the user to
vote for a candidate. The program should continue prompting for a vote until -
1 is entered.
After each vote is cast your program should redisplay the candidate list.
Write, run and test your program with each candidate receiving at least 1 vote
and a clear winner being produced. Take a screen shot of your tested output
called tally_chart.jpg.
Portfolio The task contribution to your portfolio is:
• The Python source code file for the task
• tally_chart.jpg showing output from tally_chart.py when tested."""
