It didn't sound that familiar to me either, but just look at the samples above....and I'm from California!
agree Carol Gullidge : I guess the same goes for candidates as for presidents (which is used in British English)

the best answer is you need to do a little research and find out the office AA was elected to... "candidate-elect" is clear as mud...

president-elect, governer-elect, etc. is normal, clear, concise English...

neutral Matthew Smith : I don't think X has been elected to an office, but merely chosen to stand for one

hmmm... rereading this you are probably right, in which case I would go with your answer.... candidate elect is certainly very odd in English... and in Spanish, I suspect....

neutral Ronnie McKee : candidate-elect may be clear as mud, but it seems to be in common usage. See below, candidate elect for attorney general, candidate elect for california state treasurer.....maybe its a californiaism, but I saw candidate elect for mayor of london as well.
