CandidateSelection

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

Tag	Data Type	Required?	Repeats?	Description	Error Handling
CandidateIds	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.
EndorsementPartyIds	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.
IsWriteIn	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.
