Definition
当选 (dāngxuǎn) means 'to be elected' — it specifically refers to winning a position through a formal election (e.g., mayor, president). Contrast with 入选 (rùxuǎn) 'to be selected' for a team or competition (not necessarily by voting), and with 选举 (xuǎnjǔ) which is the action/process of electing, not the result.
