No, only use an apostrophe when using a contraction or a possessive
The apostrophe and letter "s" at the end of the word indicate possession by a single noun, the candidate. "Candidate" without the apostrophe or "s" is a single noun; if the "s" were included, but there was no apostrophe ("candidates"), the word would be a plural noun meaning more than one candidate. If the apostrophe were to follow the "s" ("candidates' "), it would mean that multiple candidates possess something.

Is the apostrophe for fishermans' in the right place? If you are talking about a fisherman and his boat, it would be "the fisherman's boat is ..."
Not in that sentence. If you mean "something belonging to the governor", then it should have an apostrophe. If you mean "more than one governor" then it should not. (If you mean something belonging to more than one governor, then it should have one, but it should be after the s instead of before it.)

If the word ends in apostrophe s or ends in s apostrophe, then there is NO space before or after the apostrophe, but always a space before the next word.
The apostrophe and letter "s" at the end of the word indicate possession by a single noun, the candidate.

The apostrophe in "its" should not be placed after the s. "Its" is a possessive pronoun and does not require an apostrophe to show possession.
The apostrophe goes before the "s" in "baby's bib" to show possession. This indicates that the bib belongs to the baby.

Personally, no. But it's not incorrect to put the apostrophe.
No. If the sheriff possesses something, it is the sheriff's with an apostrophe before the "s."
