To elect or choose someone together with another person; to jointly select.
From co- 'together' plus elect (from Latin eligere 'to choose'), following the productive pattern of co- verbs created throughout English history.
Adding co- to almost any action word creates a 'doing it together' version, and this ancient prefix—which comes from Latin—shows how medieval writers could describe shared action without inventing brand new words.
