Voting to recall delegate, ultimately corrupt (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

electoral

'voting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to recall delegate ultimately corrupt' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
'corrupt' is an anagram indicator (a corrupted form).
The last letter of 'delegate' is 'e'.
'to'+'recall'+'e'='torecalle'
'torecalle' anagrammed gives 'ELECTORAL'.

(Other definitions for electoral that I've seen before include "- roll details all eligible to vote" , "made up of voters" , "Relating to the voting system" , "concerned with votes" , "Regarding choices" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
