	Abstract There are three major research questions within the scope of the subject under study. The first concerns the electoral diplomas that regulated the legislative elections of 1895 and 1906 (the decrees of 28th March 1895 and 4th August 1901 are covered here). The second is related to the way in which the monarchic governments “manufactured” electoral victories, emphasizing the caciquismo as an instrument of manipulation of the vote. The third major research question is related to the analysis of the journalistic coverage given by the Porto newspapers O Comércio do Porto and A Voz Pública (sources selected for the writing of this article) to the legislative elections of 1895 and 1906 in the city of Porto, elections that constitute the object of study of this article. The aforementioned electoral acts were selected for this investigation as, on the one hand, there was not an obvious explanation for the results recorded in Porto and, on the other hand, it would be interesting to understand how an electoral act took place at the end of the XIX century and at the beginning of the XX century. For this reason, it became interesting to study the context of its realization.
