"Kings are elected?"
- "Oh, absolutely! Lots of them prattle on about 'divine right' and so on, but when push comes to shove, every one of them is chosen by the nobles of the realm. Now, different realms do things differently. Kings and Dictators only get elected when the old one abdicates or is incapacitated. Other realms call their rulers 'Prime Ministers' and elect them every month.
- "Rulers aren't the only elected positions, either. Some realms elect their Judges, or even their Generals! And of course, votes count differently in some realms than in others, giving more weight to Dukes, for example. Some realms may have unofficial votes for other positions, but those are done by sending messages, not by officials employed by the realm as votecounters."

Be aware that voting is one of a noble's inalienable rights in Battlemaster. Anyone who gives you orders about voting should be reported to the Titans or Magistrates.
