It's possible, in general, to be elected (3,2)

I believe the answer is:

get in

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

'general to be elected' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'it's possible in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ge' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
