[John]

I was elected president of the English Conversation Club.

I was elected as president of the English Conversation Club.

I was elected to president of the English Conversation Club.

Which one is correct?

 

[probus]

The first is the only correct one.

I think the second is also correct though "as" could be omitted.

The third would be correct if it is amended to:
