Nominate

Nominate is an electoral mandate that allows users to self-nominate (or revoke their nomination) for an election managed by a Nominees contract.

Overview

This mandate provides a simple interface for users to signal their intent to run for a role or position. It interacts with a helper Nominees contract which maintains the list of active candidates. This list is often used by other mandates (like DelegateTokenSelect or ElectionList_Vote) to conduct elections.

Configuration

When adopting a Nominate instance, the following parameter is required:

1. NomineesContract (address): The address of the Nominees helper contract where nominations are stored.

Usage

Proposing an Action

When calling the mandate, one parameter must be provided:

1. shouldNominate (bool):
   • true: Add the caller to the list of nominees.
   • false: Remove the caller from the list of nominees.

Execution Flow

1. Request Handling

   • Decodes the shouldNominate boolean.
   • Prepares a call to the NomineesContract.

2. External Call

   • Executes nominate(address candidate, bool status) on the Nominees contract.
   • Passes the caller’s address as the candidate and the shouldNominate value as the status.
