[AR] Elections should be objects that could be crowd sourced for Argentina #497

Elections need to have dates and these are not always set in stone in Argentina, if elections were treated as objects it would be easier to crowdsource the information about their dates

Is this dependent on #500 ?

This is related to #526

I'd like to change the intent of this ticket to implementing its first step - allow the date of an election to be overridden for a particular post. There is a ManyToManyField relation between Election and Post at the moment; the join table could have a nullable election_date field.

This seems useful to me because it's modelling the election process better; the question of whether this would need to be crowdsourced in YNR itself I'm more doubtful about.
