Any way to account for Ballot initiatives? #28

I'm noticing that your result model assumes a candidate. Is there any vision to include ballot initiatives in this schema? If so, where/how does that fit?

dwillis commented 10 years ago

We have the interest, but considering our time frame and the scope of the results we aim to provide by next year, it's not in our current plans. But I think we've made things flexible enough to make the inclusion of ballot initiatives possible in the future.

Do you mind if we propose an extension to https://github.com/openelections/specs/wiki/Results-Data-Spec-Version-2 in the wiki?

Not at all - go for it!
