The possessive case of a noun can be created in English by adding an apostrophe and an "s" at the end of the noun (e.g., cat's, dog's). If the noun is plural and ends in "s," only an apostrophe is added (e.g., cats', dogs').
To create a possessive sentence, you typically add an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) to the noun that owns or possesses the object. For example, "Sara's car is blue" shows possession of the car by Sara. Alternatively, for plural nouns ending in "s," you would only add an apostrophe after the "s" to indicate possession, such as "the students' project."

The plural noun soldiers adds only the apostrophe after the -s for the possessive form: soldiers'
No, "candidates" does not require an apostrophe before the "s" because it is a plural noun, not possessive.
