electee
Ballot box victor
An electee is a person who has been elected, particularly to a position or office before they have formally assumed it.
The term parallels appointee—someone chosen by appointment rather than vote.
The electees will be sworn in next month.
The word is relatively uncommon, with president-elect and similar constructions preferred for specific offices.
