Slate (elections)
[1] Most student unions in the United Kingdom have the places on their executive committee elected simultaneously, but separately.Unusual among western democracies, Canada's major federal and provincial political parties do not have municipal wings.For members of a slate, this usually means not running against each other for the same office, purchasing advertising materials together and possibly agreeing to vote together on some issues if elected.Slates differ from political parties in that they are usually temporary arrangements that last for the election campaign only, and they have no annual meetings, headquarters or volunteers.Elections to the Knesset, Israel's unicameral legislature, are held under a closed-list party-list proportional representation system, which means that votes are cast for a slate of candidates running under the banner of a political party.
