The definition is at the end of the clue.
How the clue works
Right, so shut out at the end is your definition, meaning to banish someone. Start with "elected" giving you IN, then "elevated" flips that to NI, and you tuck that into the heart (dead centre) of BASH, which is your party — giving BA-NI-SH.
