Better defined as a verb (as in LA, for example).

Perhaps most commonly used in 候選人, so "candidate (attributive)" seems reasonable. But consider LA's entry:
等候被選拔、錄取或任用。
例 「登記候選」、「候選資格」。

候選 is not attributive in LA's first example, and in the second, 候選資格 is better understood as "eligibility to stand as a candidate" rather than "candidate qualifications."

And 候選人 can be understood as "a person standing as a candidate."
Diff:
- 候選 候选 [hou4 xuan3] /candidate (attributive)/
+ 候選 候选 [[hou4xuan3]] /to be a candidate/
