Partisan and Party Specific Conests

Contests can be nonpartisan, partisan, or party specific.

• Nonpartisan - "partisan": false - display all candidates, regardless of party
• Partisan - "partisan": true - only display the candidates that match the voter's party
• Party Specific - "links": {"party": 1, ... - only display the contest if the voter's party matches

The partisan field can be ignored for party specific contests as all party specific contests are also partisan contests.
