Each candidate in the Bahamas pays $400.00 deposit to enter the general election
Yes, you are right - that is what happens.
When a person is nominated they are put up as a candidate, but they are not elected until there is an election and voted into office by the people voting.
He/She has to achieve minimum 3% of votes to avoid forfeiting his deposit.
According to the Constitution, the candidate must be 35 or older, a natural born American citizen and has lived here for 14 years or more.
Officially, the parties still select the Vice Presidential candidates. Unofficially, each Presidential candidate chooses his/her own running mate.
I will endorse my candidate as long as he continues to breathe. She can endorse her paycheck and deposit it in the bank.

There is no specific penalty for certifying an unqualified candidate for the presidency under United States law. The responsibility for evaluating a candidate's qualifications lies primarily with the voters and political parties, rather than with a specific legal authority. Ultimately, the consequences of electing an unqualified candidate would depend on the actions of other branches of government and the political system as a whole.
Candidates may need to put in a deposit as a way to demonstrate their seriousness and commitment to the hiring process. It also serves as a safeguard for the employer in case the candidate backs out or fails to fulfill their obligations. The deposit can be seen as an assurance for both parties involved.
A cash deposit slip is the same as a receipt, it is proof of your deposit, how much it is when you deposited etc.
America has an interesting concept called separation of church and state, which would suggest that a political candidate should be judged by his or her actual politics, meaning political policies and proposals, rather than by the religion to which that political candidate adheres. Electing a Mormon does not thereby convert America to a Mormon nation, anymore than electing a Roman Catholic (which happened once, in 1960 with the election of John F. Kennedy) converted America to a Catholic nation. I believe that Jesus would understand this and would neither choose nor reject any candidate on the basis of religious affiliation.
