How it's used
Often abbreviated as 間選 in political discussions or news headlines to save space. It is frequently used when discussing specific political systems where citizens vote for an electoral college or a representative body rather than directly for a candidate. The term carries a formal tone and is rarely used in casual daily conversation unless the topic is specifically about governance or political science.
