## Definitions

### `at.eptss.candidateLedger`

**Type**: `record`

The round's ballot sheet, revealed as one atomic record when signups close. Published by the round organizer. The candidate list itself lives in an at.atjam.playlist of at.eptss.track records — this record pins that playlist by CID and adds only what a playlist must never carry: round attribution and who nominated what. Ballots strong-ref this ledger, so the pin chain runs ballot → ledger → playlist → tracks, and a post-hoc edit anywhere is detectable. Attribution keys on the track's AT-URI, never on its position — a positional array desyncs silently on one reorder. The organizer honors un-naming requests by editing nominations in place.

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `round` | `ref` → `com.atproto.repo.strongRef` | Yes | The at.atjam.round this ledger belongs to. |
| `playlist` | `ref` → `com.atproto.repo.strongRef` | Yes | The at.atjam.playlist holding the candidates, in ballot order, CID-pinned. |
| `nominations` | `array` | Yes | Who put what in the hat. Empty when every candidate was organizer-carried. Tracks absent here are carried candidates, unattributed by design. |
| `publishedAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |

### `at.eptss.candidateLedger#nomination`

**Type**: `object`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `by` | `string` (did) | Yes | DID of the member who nominated it. |
| `track` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes | The at.eptss.track this attribution is about. A URI and not an index: identity, not position. |
