Minimum candidate age in the UK is 18, so the year cutoff was off by one and rejected anyone whose birth year would make them currently 18. Closes DemocracyClub#2726 Signed-off-by: Charlie Tonneslan <cst0520@gmail.com>

Fixes #2726.
clean_birth_datewas usingcurrent_year - 19as the cutoff, so right now (2026) it rejects 2008, even though someone born in 2008 turns 18 this year and is eligible to stand. Bumped the offset to 18.
