Abstract: The procedure of episcopal elections in early Christianity is analyzed based on works by Origen, Cyprian and Eusebius, the Constitutions of the Holy Apostles and other disciplinary texts. Nomination of candidates, their requirements, voting procedures and parallels with Judaic and pagan practices are discussed. It is concluded that in pre-Constantine time, the popular election of bishops was the decisive factor in most churches.
