chevrotain

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

'ruminant' is the definition.
(I know that chevrotain is a type of ruminant)

'voter wanting reform in china possibly a little' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'voter' is 'evrot' which is within the answer.
'in' is found in the answer.
'china' could be 'ch' and 'ch' is present in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
