History
Electio aroace was coined by the Tumblr user Electioaroace on or before July 18, 2019. It was originally called cupio aroace, however it was later changed to avoid confusion with the cupioromantic identity (as cupioromantic does not necessarily imply a lack of tertiary attraction). One does not have to identify as cupioromantic to identify as electio aroace.

Etymology
"Electio" comes from Latin ēligō +‎ -tiō. It means "choice or selection"
