In the first method, if there are great number of voters and people themselves choose the Imam, a sly opportunist may trick the voters and a corrupt man might become Caliph. Al Mawardi says that this method is most effective if the qualities of voters are also evaluated and there is a limited number of voter, so that the chances to elect the best man as Caliph increase.
