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?

I believe these were added for typing but I don't know if they serve a purpose at this current juncture.

Need input from @AddressXception

These are simple description fields to include things like instructions on the referendum that aren't explicitly part of the official referendum text. I would prefer to keep and and treat as optional. This is a commonly used field in ballots
