elected members
Voted-in officials
Elected members are people who hold positions through a vote rather than appointment, inheritance, or other selection methods.
The phrase typically refers to officials in legislative bodies, councils, or committees: The elected members of Parliament debated the budget.
It distinguishes those chosen by constituents from appointed staff or permanent officials.
