synonym for

elect
verb
[ ih-

elect
is another word for
choose
Today’s the day! That is, it’s the perfect day for clarifying the difference between
choose
and
elect
! To
choose
something is to select it from a number of possibilities. This is a very common and general verb that is unlikely to call to mind any specific situation or action. The verb
elect
, on the other hand, suggests the formal action of voting someone into office.
Elect
does have more general senses referring to picking something out (a first-year college student might
elect
one class over another to satisfy a requirement), but as a member of the civically inclined word family including
electoral
and
election
, the primary meaning
elect
calls to mind relates to governmental processes.

voters + elect

elect
a leader they believed in.

elected
