Members
- Blake Sennett - Keyboards, Rhythm Guitar & Vocals
- Mike Bloom - Lead Guitar & Lap Steel
- Daniel Brummel/Michael Runion/Nate Greely - Bass

Sennett and Boesel were also members of Rilo Kiley. Daniel Brummel plays with Ozma as well. Michael Runion plays solo when not playing live with The Elected. Ryland Steen currently plays with Reel Big Fish, while his younger brother Sander Steen is currently touring with The Elected. Nate Greely, former member of Sub Pop band Arlo, also currently tours with The Elected.
Their second album, Sun, Sun, Sun was released on January 24, 2006 via Sub Pop Records.
After taking time off from the music business, Blake Sennett returned with a third Elected album entitled Bury Me In My Rings, which was released on 17 May 2011 via Vagrant Records. Described as "complete with twelve shimmering pop songs reminiscent of mid-century West Coast rock",[1] Sennett played most instruments and produced the album himself: “I played most of the instruments myself, so it was easier to erase stuff without hurting anyone’s feelings. This time I just thought, better take it as far as I can alone… then bring in my friends to fill in the blanks.”
