The following table lists the enumerations for election date type in the
Election entity:
Value
Description
scheduled
When the election is already scheduled.
snap
When a snap election is called.
bounded
When the election dates are uncertain but expected within a given
timeframe. For elections with this date type, the EndDate
will be interpreted as "expected on-or-before", and
StartDate will be interpreted as "expected on-or-after"
if different from EndDate and ignored if the same.
In other words, to specify only an "expected on-or-before" date, set
both the StartDate and EndDate to that date,
and to specify a full range during which the election could happen,
set the StartDate to the earliest possible date and the
EndDate to the latest possible date. Specifying only an
"expected on-or-after" date is not possible.
