Hallo, the "Five Star Movement" ("Movimento 5 Stelle", M5S), an Italian political party with about 130,000 members, is currently the largest organization that uses a Condorcet method for its internal decision-making processes. To be more concrete, it uses the Schulze method. To be even more concrete, it uses OpenSTV's implementation of Schwartz Sequential Dropping. See this educational video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq7nyoILx9Y On 8 November 2015, the "Five Star Movement" of Milan used this method to nominate its candidate for the upcoming mayoral elections. There were 8 candidates and about 300 cast ballots. Markus Schulze

Sounds great! Are the results open? Should be an interesting dataset.
