I have never heard of getting a ticket in an election. The sentences are grammatically correct, but the expression is meaningless to me. If this answer is not enough for you, maybe you could try to ask your question with different example sentences.

0Sir,
Political parties select the candidates and give them a letter declaring them as authorized candidate from the party to contest an election. The letter given is called a ticket.
Thank you very much for explaining and caring doubt.
sincerely
