What does 'political parties nominate a candidate to contest the election' mean?

This means that, during a regular or by election, the parties which will be on the voting list nominate a candidate from their own ranks (that is, they pick someone to represent them in the election) to 'contest' (which means to fight or compete) for the position which is being elected.
=============================================================
In Canada, a person is free to join the political party of his or her choosing by paying a nominal membership fee. That person's membership is usually assigned to the riding association in the riding in which that person lives (although there are usually provisions for her or his membership to be assigned to another riding association if s/he wishes).
In every riding in Canada there are associations for the major political parties. (The exception is the Bloc Québecois, which only contests elections in Quebec.) Prior to an election, each party's riding association, in each riding, holds a meeting of its members. It is usually called a "nomination meeting." At the various nomination meetings, the members of each riding association choose the person who will be that party's candidate in the election.
During the election, there are at least three candidates contesting (i.e., trying to win) the election in each riding, and often several more.
There is a process by which a political party can be "registered" by the government. Registration permits the candidate to have the name of his or her party alongside his or her name. Registration also permits the government to partially fund the operations of each registered political party.
The situation is usually quite similar at the provincial level.
