Chosen again by voting to hold the same political office or position for another term.
Prefix 're-' (again) combined with 'elected' (chosen by vote). 'Elect' comes from Latin 'eligere' meaning 'to pick out.' The prefix became commonly used in English to show repetition of actions.
In some countries, leaders can be reelected indefinitely, while in the United States, presidents can only be reelected once (serving a maximum of two terms)—this rule was added after Franklin D. Roosevelt won four elections!
