What is an (electoral) candidate?

A member of the Legislative Assembly
A registered voter in Canada
A Canadian citizen, 18 years or older, running for office
The winner of an electoral district vote

The correct answer is: A Canadian citizen, 18 years or older, running for office

An electoral candidate is a Canadian citizen who is at least 18 years old and is running for an elected position in government. Option A is incorrect because a legislative assembly is a specific governing body and not all candidates run for positions in this assembly. Option B is incorrect because a registered voter is not the same as a candidate; a registered voter is simply someone who is eligible to vote in elections but may not necessarily be running for office. Option D is incorrect because electoral candidates can win or lose an electoral district vote, so simply being the winner of a vote does not define what a candidate is.
