A candidate in the Catholic Church is someone in the process of becoming a member of the Catholic faith who has already been baptized in another Christian Church by means recognized by the Catholic Church (i.e. done in the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit). A person converting who has not been previously baptized is known as a Catechumen.

Are people who vote for a pro choice candidate guilty of a sin?

A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil, and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion, if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidate's permissive stand on abortion and/or euthanasia. When a Catholic does not share a candidate's stand in favour of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.
