Tancredo Neves fue uno de los dos presidentes electos de Brasil que murieron antes de asumir el cargo. [ 1 ]

El sufijo -elect describe la posición de una persona que ha sido elegida pero aún no ha tomado posesión del cargo . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Cabe destacar que a un presidente que ha sido elegido pero aún no ha tomado posesión del cargo se le denomina presidente electo (por ejemplo, presidente electo de los Estados Unidos ). De forma análoga, el término -designado (por ejemplo , primer ministro designado ) se utiliza con el mismo propósito, especialmente cuando alguien es designado en lugar de elegido (por ejemplo, juez designado).

Historia

Este uso del término «elegido» se originó en la Iglesia Católica , donde los obispos eran elegidos pero no asumían el cargo hasta ser ordenados . Además, el ganador de una elección papal era conocido como el papa electo hasta que era confirmado y se convertía en papa . [ 4 ] El término entró en la política con la práctica de la monarquía electiva . Por ejemplo, el emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico era elegido por un colegio de príncipes electores , pero el candidato ganador no se convertía en emperador hasta que era coronado por el papa. Entre la elección y la coronación, era conocido como el imperator electus , o emperador electo. [ 5 ] Para el siglo XIX, el término se había extendido para describir cualquier cargo en el que transcurre un período sustancial entre la elección y la instalación. Por ejemplo, era común en el siglo XIX referirse a una prometida como novia electa . [ 6 ] [ 7 ]

Cargos oficiales en organizaciones

The bylaws of some clubs and other organizations may define an official position of president-elect similar to a vice president position.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The members of the organization elect the president-elect, rather than directly electing the organization's president.[16] The president-elect may be given limited duties, similar to a vice president. At the end of the term, the president-elect is promoted to the position of president, and a new president-elect is elected. The advantage of this schema is a clear continuity of succession, as well as the opportunity to familiarize the president-elect with the operations of the organization before becoming president. A possible drawback is that once a president-elect has been elected, another person cannot be elected president unless the president-elect resigns or is removed from office.[16]

The position of president-elect is different from someone who was elected president and is called "president-elect" between the time of election and the start of the term. For example, if an election for president was held in January, but the term of office does not begin until March, the person who was elected president may be called "president-elect" but does not hold any power until the term begins in March. On the other hand, someone in the position of president-elect has all the powers of that position that the bylaws provide. Similarly, organizations may have other official positions such as vice president-elect, secretary-treasurer-elect, director-elect, and chair-elect.[15][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]
