Notes

The definition of a “slate” assumes more than one candidate, yet several independent candidates in this election gave themselves slate titles. Some of the independent candidates also had associations with other slates.

  • Timothy Silva and Erica Rozetti ran as LEAD supporters, asking voters to rank the official LEAD candidates 1-6 before ranking them 7 and 8. They were not seeking election but running in an attempt to garner more votes for the LEAD Senate candidates and Executive ticket.
  • Albert Parnell was a LEAD Senate candidate in the previous election but not elected. When he ran again during the Winter 2007 Election he claimed to be running on the RESPECT slate.
  • Ronald Payne claimed to be running on the Christian slate.
  • Laura Nevins claimed to be running on the FUCKED slate.
