A nonpartisan election is an election where the candidates run without any "official" party affiliation.
However, in practice a candidate will either be a member of a political party, or hold to positions identifying with one.
An example of a "nonpartisan election" is that for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors: although officially "nonpartisan", all eleven members are members of the Democratic party.
