Chosen or chooser (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elector

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chooser' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'chosen or' is the wordplay.
'chosen' becomes 'elect' ('elect' as an adjective can mean chosen).
'elect'+'or'='ELECTOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elector that I've seen before include "One has a legal right to vote" , "might he make one cross?" , "one given a choice" , "Germanic prince" , "One exercising suffrage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
