Description
1. people are asking in the foundation office about info. info is still scattered across blog posts and the election page and some PDFs. it should be easy to find, concentrated, and searchable/indexable
2. the election site needs to be accessible from everywhere, not just the homepage. to that end, just include the banner on ALL pages if possible. this has the added benefit that people only reading something else will become aware of it (e.g. liberapay supporters).
3. it is useful to cross reference the /supporters when looking at candidates. ideas:
- link supporters to election and the other way round
- put the logos next to the candidates where possible?
4. ???
5. Profit

Research direction
Start by reviewing the election page, related blog posts and PDFs, the site-wide page layout, and the /supporters page. Define a concrete scope for centralizing and indexing election information, exposing the election site across pages, and adding candidate/supporter cross-links. Done should mean the agreed information is easy to find and the requested links and visibility changes work consistently.
