## public Election::isRegisteredCandidate
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
public Election->isRegisteredCandidate ( CondorcetPHP\Condorcet\Candidate|string $candidate [, bool $strictMode = true] ): bool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check if a candidate is already taking part in the election.
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### **candidate:** *```CondorcetPHP\Condorcet\Candidate|string```*
|
|
Candidate object or candidate string name. String name works only if the strict mode is active.
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### **strictMode:** *```bool```*
|
|
Search comparison mode. In strict mode, candidate objects are compared strictly and a string input can't match anything.
|
|
If strict mode is false, the comparison will be based on name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Return value:
|
|
|
|
*(```bool```)* True / False
|
|
