Recall ignoring case of role for elected representative (6)

I believe the answer is:

member

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'elected representative' is the definition.
(eg Member of Parliament)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for member that I've seen before include "One belongs to a society" , "Component part; associate" , "Limb - affiliate" , "One belongs to a group" , "One belonging to a club" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
