A papal conclave is possibly the oldest form of ____ still used (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for election that I've seen before include "Public vote" , "Time to vote" , "Voting opportunity" , "Competition by ballot" , "Time for political change" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
