A comment on Run for Office: Find all elected offices you are eligible to run for.

I'd suggest a reword to "might be eligible" or "your residence qualifies for" or somesuch. Some offices have their own specific requirements, such as age or technical qualification.

For example, to run for California Attorney General, one "Must be admitted to practice before the state Supreme Court for at least five years immediately preceding election or appointment to the office".

Yes, you're correct. Attorney General, Treasurer positions, Law Enforcement positions, and a few others do require advanced degrees. We have plans to include that in our data. Thanks.

My comment is not a criticism at all! There is a point of diminishing returns on such projects where a pedantic correction can require loads of work. Great work.

A similar-concept project was posted here on HN this month:
