Any Roman citizen of the first class had the right to vote and also had the right to become a consul. However they had this RIGHT, but they did not necessarily use it. Getting oneself elected consul was a long sometimes tedious process and also very expensive. The course of honor, as the election steps were called, was out of the financial reach of most citizens.
