Fill in forms at elections (4)
I believe the answer is:
sate
'fill' is the definition.
('sate' can be a synonym of 'fill')
'in forms at elections' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SATE' can be found hidden inside 'forms at elections'.
(Other definitions for sate that I've seen before include "Quench" , "Make content" , "Malaysian dish" , "Fill completely" , "Provide with more than enough" .)
