A '''candidate''' is a someone who is being considered for a position, public office, award or honor. The act of offering oneself as a candidate is called a candidacy. In politics, once a candidate has been selected to represent a particular [[political parties|political party]] then they become the party's ''nominee''.
The term candidate is derived from the Latin ''candida'' (white), as those seeking political office in [[ancient Rome]] would often wear bright white togas when participating in public events.
