    He describes two ways in which Caliph can be elected, the first being that the Caliph has the vote of majority of electorates and the second being that the caliph is nominated by the existing Caliph. 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.
