The Electorate refers to citizens who are qualified and registered to vote in an election. It is the group of individuals who have the right to cast their ballots and choose their representatives in a democratic system of government. The Electorate includes all eligible voters regardless of their political affiliation, social status, or any other characteristic. It is the foundation of a democratic system, as it provides citizens with the opportunity to participate in the political process and have a say in how their government is run. The other options mentioned - intended candidates for voting, elected party members, and elected civil society groups - do not accurately define the term Electorate.
