Your question has a problem. First there was no " voters choice". Congress decided who was to be president. He was elected by the House.
Before his election in 1860 as the first Republican president, Lincoln had been a lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the Senate.
She isn't a candidate for President.
A presidential election is one where citizens vote for the President. In this type of election, voters directly choose their preferred candidate for the position of President of their country. The candidate who receives the majority of the electoral votes or the popular votes (depending on the country's system) wins the election and becomes the President.
Margaret Madeline Chase Smith was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination in the 1964 presidential election, but was the first woman to be placed in nomination for the presidency at a major party's convention.
Barack Obama , Democratic candidate, won re-election in 2012.

Technically he is both, but it is usual to refer to him as a president or the incumbent, since referring to him as a candidate makes it sound as though he isn't already a president.
The House selects the president out of the top 3 candidate with votes.
