Duplicate records being returned when hitting the lists API

It seems that the data that we get when we pull through the API is different than the data that you get when you just download a CSV file from a nation. The result is that the lists we pull from your API had about 20% duplicates.

This is likely the outcome of using the export context type 'voter ballot'. The context type 'people' will return a single record per .csv file generated by the export API.

Voter ballot exports will have multiple rows with the same record because each row can contain a different election in which that record/person voted.
