Just about every male citizen could participate if he wanted to. Officials were elected by the Plebeian assemblies and the Ward assemblies. However to actually be elected a man had to create a public image, usually by public works, putting on public entertainment when it was allowed, or by making rousing speeches in the forum. In all cases the costs of keeping yourself in the public eye was huge, and the higher the office a man aspired to, the higher the costs.
