Kutavolai
Elections
were used as early in history as ancient
Greece and ancient Rome, and
throughout the Medieval period to select rulers such as the Holy Roman Emperor andthe Pope.
In Vedic period of India, the raja (chiefs) of a gana (a tribal
organization) was apparently elected by the gana.
The raja belonged to the noble Kshatriya varna (warrior class), and was typically a son of the previousraja.
However, the gana members had the final say in his
elections.[4] The Pala kingGopala (ruled c.
750s–770s CE) in early medieval Bengal was elected by a group of feudal chieftains. Such elections were
quite common in contemporary societies of the region.[5][6] In Chola Empire, around 920
CE, in Uthiramerur (in present-dayTamil Nadu), palm
leaves were used for selecting the village committee members. The leaves, with
candidate names written on them, were put inside a mud pot. To select the
committee members, a young boy was asked to take out as many leaves as the
number of positions available. This was known as the Kudavolai system.

“ The Kutavolai
system, as practiced in Sangam period and even in Chola period of the

system of drawing a lot by a young boy from among the leaves of the contestants
for various memberships.” –Editor.------தொடரும்……
