I couldn't find any explicit exemption process mentioned in the elections document, so I thought the only thing was that the list of eligible candidates was sent for review to the community and then updated if any candidates are missing or faultily added there. Are there any other exemptions we should document?

Update the text on the eligible candidate list slightly. Please re-review.
