individual candidate election results


Explanation:
I believe that is what you are talking about. Some candidates get far more or far less votes than the political party itself as an average.

Votes for the candidate, candidate votes


Explanation:
This depends. When announcing the overall results of an election, one would say simply "votes for the candidate". If in a list of votes, the SINGULAR 'candidate' would be used in place of 'candidate'S votes', as it is a matter of courtesy and accepted protocol towards other candidates not to refer to the votes as belonging to anyone in particular - they belong to 'the people'.
