So, when you sign up, you get a profile right?

Well so do candidates. Right now these profiles are not controlled or editted by the respective candidates, but as we await a response from each party, we will maintain their accounts on behalf of them.

Why are they there?
They are there, so that people can show who they support. Give them an approval rating to show what you think of them, comment on their profile to show your support, or check out their most recent campaign videos through their profile.

We hope to hear from the candidates parties very soon, at which point we'll be able to elaborate on what these accounts are really for.
