The current implementation of input validation for an ElectionDescription skips a few details:

there is no verification on ElectionType. for instance, for party primaries, then all candidates should have the same party?
there is currently no validation done for ballot styles connected to party id's and verifying the contests are correct for that style
we should require that every candidate has a party specified, and that there is a special party for non-partisan
we should verify that the contest sequence order set is in the proper order for the election
document and validate the candidate_id in SelectionDescription
