Usage Note
Candidatura refers to a candidacy (the fact of being a candidate) or a list of candidates from a party. It is commonly used in electoral contexts: presentar su candidatura = 'to announce one's candidacy'. The related noun candidato/candidata is the person; candidatura is the abstract position or the slate. Do not translate it as 'candidate' — that is candidato.
Examples
"Anunció su candidatura para las elecciones."
Natural Translation
He announced his candidacy for the elections.
