highlights•Long term sedimentation of an ellipse subject to an external electric field is studied.•Horizontal, slanted, vertical and oscillating sedimentation behaviors are observed solely due to electrical forces.•Electrical forces lead to slower descent in narrow channels while the reverse happens...
