whitelisting sounds like something exchanges do. electrum is not an exchange. however it does have an address book like feature called contacts. you can go to view menu > show contacts > switch to contacts tab and add new contacts via the right click menu. this makes it possible to save frequently used addresses. the downside is that it encourages address reuse and in some cases may lead to funds losses if you send to addresses no longer used by the recipient.

Whitelisting Electrum addresses isn't effective as the restriction only applies in the client and anyone with your 12 word seeds can still send the funds anywhere.

However, you can save addresses that you are planning to send to frequently. Go to View>Show Contacts. Go to the tab and right click in the space, you can add addresses with a name. Right click on them and you can select Pay to to send the funds to that address.

Hi

Does Electrum offer any kind of feature of registering /whitelisting withdrawal addresses?
I have several Bitcoin addresses I often send to, so I think it will be really time-effective for me, if it does:)
Thanks in advance!
