This article shows -from the analysis of compiled electoral standards in national encoding- the role played by the Colombian electoral legislation on the elections during the first half of the 19th century. The main interest focuses on the description and analysis of the requirements to be an elector, the development of the local elections, the violations to the rules and the role of judges during these elections. Our hypothesis is that standards were building to the extent that electoral practices made it necessary to its regulation.

Keywords : electoral legislation; elections; voters; New Granada.
