Form Validation:
- Create comprehensive Zod validation schemas for all forms
- Login form: email, password validation
- Register form: first name, last name, email, password strength requirements
- Profile update form: all user fields with optional phone/address
- Password change form: current password, new password confirmation
- Vote submission form: election ID and candidate selection
Password Strength:
- Minimum 8 characters
- At least one uppercase letter
- At least one digit

React Hook Form Integration:
- Update login page with useForm and field-level error display
- Update register page with form validation and error messages
- Show validation errors inline with red borders
- Disable form submission while loading or submitting
- Better user feedback with detailed error messages
Type Safety:
- Zod schemas with TypeScript inference
- Type-safe form data types
- Proper error handling and validation
Build Status:
- All pages compile successfully
- Zero TypeScript errors
- Bundle size includes Zod (~40 kB) and React Hook Form
- Login/Register pages: 145 kB First Load JS (includes new validation libraries)
- Shared bundle remains ~102 kB
Setup:
- npm install zod react-hook-form @hookform/resolvers
- Ready for production with form validation
