Before an election is held, candidates declare their platform, then campaign before the voting public. The voters, in turn, look for a candidate that is reputable and respectable with qualifications appropriate to the position.
In 60 A.D. Festus was elected governor of Caesarea, because he had all the qualifications required for the position. In Acts 25 we see Festus taking his place on the judgment seat and negotiating within the laws of the day. One thing he accomplished was to get the apostle Paul released from prison.
In any elected position, it is important for the person in office to be qualified for the position they hold, so they will make the right decisions just the way Festus did.
