Have you first done =>
Election.deployed().then(function(instance) {app = instance})

make a change in addCandidate funtion

mapping(uint=>candidate) public candidates1;
uint public candidateCount;
function addCandidate(string memory _name) private {
candidateCount++;
candidates1[candidateCount] = candidate(candidateCount,_name,0);
}
