English to Portuguese translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Religion / religião e política
English term or phrase: slates
Under the rules of open list proportional representation used for legislative elections to the lower chamber (in federal elections) or only chamber (in local and state elections), parties field slates of candidates, with candidates unranked within slates

Moreover, in most local, state, and federal legislative districts, dozens of parties seek to fill candidate slates, yielding hundreds of candidates in each race.

The combination of extreme multipartism and high magnitude electoral districts (that is, districts in which many representatives are elected at once) has led party leaders under pressure to fill out their slates on ballots to accept new (evangelical) blood eagerly.
