Note
The plural carries every sense of its singular, not only the electoral one. Beyond candidates put forward for office, nominees can be the people or organizations in whose names securities are registered while another party, the nominator, holds the real ownership, often to keep that owner's identity hidden. In the law of copyhold estates, they are also those to whom a holder surrenders an interest.
The shares were held by nominees, so the true owner's name never appeared on the register.
The investor used several nominees to conceal the identity of the nominator.
