@gmt1361 either 'elected president' or 'president-elect', but they don't have the same meaning.
A president-elect is the person who has already won, but has not been inaugurated yet (like Joe Biden right now.)
An elected president is a person who won the election and inaugurated, in contrast to a non-elected president, who became president by appointment. For example, when JFK was assassinated, Lyndon Johnson (JFK's vice president) became a non-elected president.
