I am curious to know which is the correct usage.
The subject is "candidate" and the prepositional phrase "except Smith and her" is not a subject but a modifying phrase: taken as a whole, it acts as an adjective. The correct form (subject or object) of the feminine singular pronoun depends on its function within the phrase in question. Within the prepositional phrase, "Smith" and "her" are objects of the preopsition "except." Accordingly, we need the objective, not subjective form.
(And yes, this would mean "between you and I" is wrong as well; prefer "between you and me."

)Thanks man. So far I was thinking "between you and I" is correct. Now, I understand that after preposition, we need to use objective pronouns. With that knowledge, I think following statements are correct. Please correct me if I am wrong:
"You and her complete the work"
"You and me went to movie"
