This article contains a general vision of the Council of Twenty-four Electors, an institution during the Viceroyalty which was created to elect the Alferez Real Inca who participated in the annual celebration in honor of Saint James the Apostle in Cusco.

The article also shows the mechanisms by which the Incan nobility granted and received legitimacy from the Spanish Monarchical system.
