ElectionEvent entities describe the attributes for a logical set of one or
more elections and referendums within a single Feed. The entity specifies what
geographies and office levels are included, as well as when the actual content
for the set of elections is available in the Feed. ElectionEvent entities
can be consolidated even if they cross geographic and office boundaries as long
as all of the other attributes are the same (such as the initial delivery date
of content or election type).
