Description

This would have to be an augmentation; the email we send to them (and even the form itself!) could reflect the canonicalized work, either during nominations (I'm skeptical of this one) or after. The reasoning here is that if it turns out that canonicalization is incorrect, it offers the member an avenue to identify it and request a re-categorization or re-canonicalization.

I would elect not to include it before nominations close, as it is an avenue for leaking the existence of other nominations.

Optionally, the admin could choose to send all members who provided their emails an updated, canonicalized ballot reflecting recategorizations and name corrections?

Research direction

The issue identifies no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the member nomination display, email generation, and admin ballot flows. Clarify whether canonicalized work is shown only after nominations close and define the member and admin update behavior before implementation; done means those decisions are covered and tested.
