'one who elects' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'veto royal amendment' is the wordplay.
'royal' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation e.g. RM - Royal Marine).
'amendment' is an anagram indicator.
'veto'+'r'='vetor'
'vetor' with letters rearranged gives 'VOTER'.

'to' is the link.
