I would like to know the legal definition of "withdraw", even if the candidates name is still on the ballot.

All I can tell you is that if Ed Davis had chosen to "withdraw" from the U.S. Senate race back in 1986, his name would have remained on the primary ballot. So the indictment was over a "withdrawal" exactly analogous to a McClintock withdrawal, since Tom's name would remain on the ballot.

Got it.
