How to say "electorate" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 選挙母体せんきょぼたい
    nounCovers 'electorate' as a constituent body or electoral base: the voters viewed as a single body from which support comes, as in political discussion of a party's electoral base. A less common choice.
  • 選挙民せんきょみん
    nounCovers 'electorate' in the sense of the voters or constituents themselves — the people who vote and whom politicians appeal to; a less common choice for this sense.
    選挙せんきょ民みんは増税ぞうぜいにがまんできません。↗
    The voters won't put up for a tax hike.

Both are less common ways to render 'electorate': choose 選挙民 for the voters as people, and 選挙母体 when thinking of the electorate as a body or base — the group from which electoral support comes.
