candidates have elected=FALSE even when their election's results haven't been reported. #925

I'd expect elected=NULL when no result has been reported, however in this ward all 10 candidates had elected=FALSE in csv downloads from May 10 and 11 despite the ward only having its results recorded by BrettonPE on May 12, 2016, 1:36 p.m.

Could all candidates whose results haven't yet been recorded be updated/reset so their elected=NULL ?

Ideally the votes and result_confirmed fields requested in https://github.com/mysociety/yournextrepresentative/issues/920 would be added first, then a script could fix the elected field and populate the two new fields at the same time.

All of the MembershipExtra objects associated with this ward do have have elected set to False rather than None:

In [2]: post = Post.objects.get(extra__slug='UTW:E05010815')

In [3]: for m in post.memberships.all():
   ...:     print m.extra.elected
   ...:     
False
False
False
False
False
False
False
False
False
False

In other words, this isn't a problem with the CSV generation.

@symroe - could you investigate whether the results recorder was doing something wrong for this ward? (The winner_count is 3.)
