Everything about Slate Elections totally explained
A
Slate is a group of
candidates that run in multi-seat or multi-position
elections on a common platform.
The common platform maybe because the candidates are all members of a
political party or have the same or similar
policies, or simply that they're a group of friends.
Elections that commonly have slates
The United States presidential elections use an
electoral college to determine the winner and the electors are chosen by popular vote in each state. Voters choose a slate of electors that are supporting one of the candidates, although this may not be obvious to the voter at the time.
United Kingdom Student Unions
Most
student unions in the United Kingdom have the places on their executive committee elected simultaneously, but separately. Groups of candidates may run together so as each candidate can campaign for themselves and the other members on the slate at the same time, thereby increasing the election material and manpower available to the group. Slates can be political (
for example Stop the War) or non-political. However some students' unions ban the use of slates in their elections.
