Which term describes a list of candidates for office that has the name of only one candidate for each office?

• A. Slate
• B. Single slate
• C. Slate of candidates
• D. Roster

Answer: (B)

A single slate is the term for a list of candidates for office that names only one candidate for each position. In a slate, organizers present nominees together as a group, but when there is exactly one name for every office, that particular slate is described as a single slate. This distinguishes it from more general slates that might include multiple nominees for some offices, or from a plain roster that doesn’t specify candidates for each office. So, the precise phrasing is used to indicate there’s one chosen candidate per office on the slate.
