Updating banner content for election period to be more aligned with Notify and policy advice

Feedback from policy

If it’s not too late, I’d suggest a slight tweak to the text to say something like “Consult with your depts’ communications team about announcements and the Caretaker Convention” or “announcements during the Caretaker period”. It’s not going to be immediately obvious to our clients that the election = caretaker convention, and that Forms = a tool for communicating new programs and services and other announcements. Approach to be consistent with Notify and a bit more explicit.
