Este trabajo propone un abordaje comparativo sobre los dos mecanismos que regían el acceso al cuerpo capitular en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII en la gobernación del Tucumán. A partir del análisis de las elecciones anuales del cabildo y el remate de oficios concejiles examinamos los símbolos y rituales que, en cada uno de dichos procedimientos, conducían la expresión y la constitución de lo que era consideradoel poder legítimo local. El acervo sagrado y político que revestían las elecciones, y el carácter pragmático del remate, permiten explorar la significación y las implicaciones que el ritual asumía en la trama institucionaldel gobierno colonial y en la legitimación del poder.
