But Flatto and Dougiello, on Dec. 28, each filed a “certificate of exemption from forming a candidate committee,” saying each was “one of a slate of candidates.”

Dara Howard, supervising accounts examiner at the state Elections Enforcement Commission, said a slate of candidates could have as few as two candidates.

“If it’s two or more candidates that formed a committee to fund their candidacy, it’s a slate committee,” Howard said.

Flatto and Jean Sturges, treasurer of Friends of Flatto and Dougiello, said they didn’t know the state considered two candidates to be a slate.

“I thought that meant if the whole party unified under a slate,” Flatto said.
