Indirect election is best described as "electoral college electing legislators."
Indirect election is a process of electing representatives in which the citizens do not directly elect their representatives but instead elect a group of individuals who then elect the representatives. This group of individuals is often referred to as an electoral college.
In indirect elections, citizens vote for a group of representatives who will then cast their votes on behalf of the citizens. This method is commonly used in countries where the population is too large to allow direct elections or where there are concerns about the ability of citizens to make informed decisions.
Therefore, the option "electoral college electing legislators" is the best description of indirect election. The other options mentioned are not accurate descriptions of indirect election because they either refer to a specific group of people (only women or only adults) or suggest that the citizens themselves elect the legislators directly.
