EN: voter, elector
The person with the real 'power,' at least for one day every few years. You're the one who lines up for hours under the sun, gets your finger stained with indelible ink, and then complains about the government for the next six years. You are the ultimate client, and election day is your chance to leave a 'customer review.'
From `mang-` + `hahalal` (future tense of `halal`, 'to elect'). Literally, "one who will elect."
ROOT MEANING: elected official
A formal term used in civics, news, and political discussions. The more common, everyday term is 'botante'.
