🔥 Remove CandidateContestDescription & ReferendumContestDescription
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Suggestion
CandidateContestDescription, ReferendumContestDescription seem unclear as when and why to use. Perhaps withdraw these from the reference library for now, until they are ready to be developed further?
Possible Implementation
No response
Anything else?
