candiate_selection

CandidateSelection extends ballot_selection_base and represents a ballot selection for a candidate contest.

Tag	Data Type	Required?	Repeats?	Description	Error Handling
candidate_ids	xs:IDREFS	Optional	Single	References a set of candidate elements. The number of candidates that can be references is unbounded in cases where the ballot selection is for a ticket (e.g. “President/Vice President”, “Governor/Lt Governor”).	If the field is invalid or not present, then the implementation is required to ignore it.
endorsement_party_ids	xs:IDREFS	Optional	Single	References a set of party elements, which signifies one or more endorsing parties for the candidate(s).	If the field is invalid or not present, then the implementation is required to ignore it.
is_write_in	xs:boolean	Optional	Single	Signifies if the particular ballot selection allows for write-in candidates. If true, one or more write-in candidates are allowed for this contest.	If the field is invalid or not present, then the implementation is required to ignore it.

A base model for all ballot selection types: ballot_measure_selection, candiate_selection, and party_selection.

Tag	Data Type	Required?	Repeats?	Description	Error Handling
sequence_order	xs:integer	Optional	Single	The order in which a selection can be listed on the ballot or in results. This is the default ordering, and can be overridden by OrderedBallotSlectionIds in ordered_contest.	If the field is invalid or not present, then the implementation is required to ignore it.
