You are eligible to be elected even if you are wounded or at a Tournament.
You are not eligible to be elected if you are in prison or seriously wounded.
You are not able to vote if you are wounded, at a tournament or in prison.
Some Governments take your prestige and honour into account when voting. Some do not.
Some Governments hold monthly elections for some or all of their officials. Some are only once.

In various types of governments, some positions are able to be elected while some positions are appointed by the ruler.
To Vote, you simply set your voting under "Paperwork" for whom you'd like to vote for in each of 4 categories (That vote is saved and you will continue to vote that way until you go back into "Paperwork" and change your vote): Ruler, General, Judge and Banker. You get to vote for 3 people, the top recieving most of your votes, followed by the number two position then number three.
For example: A Troop Leader votes Candidate A in the first position, Candidate B in the second position, and Candidate C in the third position. (Vote numbers vary by government types and position being voted for). That means Candidate A would recieve 4 votes (hypethetical number), while Candidate B would recieve 2 votes, and Candidate C would recieve 2 votes as well. Then all votes are talied automatically, and the victor is announced.
You can also refuse to be eligable to be elected into any electable or appointable position. You would select "Refuse to become": Ruler, General, Judge, Banker, Local Lord or Marshal.

The Ruler is voted for once, and they remain until they are removed in one of many different fashions. The Arch Priest(ess) is also elected once. The Ruler has the ability to appoint the Royal Treasurer (Banker), and High Marshall (General) when those post are vacated.

Prestige carries with it great weight when voting for a new king; the most prestigious and aristocratic have far more say then the common soldier does. When voting for the judge, everyone's vote is equal.

As with monarchy, the ruler is elected just once; once elected, the ruler appoints all other positions in the realm.

The slight benefit for the average noble is that all votes are equal; no matter your rank or prestige. However, since all power ultimately lies with the ruler, it is not as much of a blessing as it would seem.

Lords and those with positions enjoy a greater voice in who they choose to lead their realm compared to others. For judges, all are equal.

The Ruler is elected once, the general and the banker are elected monthly. The judge is under direct appointment of the ruler.

Those of greater station will have greater say in who guides the productivity and safety of their realm. However, for rulers, all votes are counted equally.
