German prince entitled to be involved in choosing the Holy Roman Emperor (7)

I believe the answer is:

elector

(Other definitions for elector that I've seen before include "I choose" , "who's making his mark?" , "A prince of the Holy Roman Empire" , "Germanic prince" , "One whom may vote" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
