reselecting
Choosing once more
Reselecting is choosing again—typically after an initial selection proves inadequate or circumstances change.
The word appears in technical contexts like software interfaces reselecting the file after an error and in British politics, where local party members may or may not reselect their sitting MP as candidate for the next election.
