A study of the political system in the late Republic, dealing with the various ways in which electoral support was mobilised and victory procured at the polls. It deals with the elections to both the tribal and centuriate assemblies which chose the lower and higher magistrates of the Republic; and with every kind of canvassing by aspiring candidates employed not only in elections, but in climbing the ladder of the Republic. The political system of the Republic is often described as narrowly oligarchic; all forms of popular participation had little real impact on how the Republic was run.
