The Humours of an Election is a series of four oil paintings and later engravings by William Hogarth that illustrate the election of a member of parliament in Oxfordshire in 1754. The oil paintings were created in 1755. The first three paintings, An Election Entertainment, Canvassing for Votes and The Polling, demonstrate the corruption endemic in parliamentary elections in the 18th century, before the Great Reform Act. The last painting, Chairing the Member, shows the celebrations of the victorious Tory candidates and their supporters.

Humours of an Election est une série de tableaux puis d'estampes réalisés par William Hogarth qui illustrent les élections générales britanniques de 1754 tenues en 1754 dans le comté de l'Oxfordshire. À cette époque, chaque comté anglais élit deux membres du Parlement, et une qualification d'électeurs est faite de telle manière que seule une minorité de la population masculine y a droit. Il n'y a pas de bulletin secret : de ce fait, la corruption et l'intimidation sont légion.

The last painting, Chairing the Member, shows the celebrations of the victorious Tory candidates and their supporters. At this time each constituency elected two MPs, and there was a property qualification for voters, so only a minority of the male population was enfranchised. There was no secret ballot, so bribery and intimidation were rife. However, this traditional view has been questioned by recent historians who observed lively local political participation in this time. The originals are held by Sir John Soane's Museum, London. The works were also reproduced as a series of prints.

Il n'y a pas de bulletin secret : de ce fait, la corruption et l'intimidation sont légion. Les tableaux sont peints en 1755. Les trois premiers sujets — An Election Entertainment (ou Un Banquet électoral), Canvassing for Votes (ou La Brigue des votes) et The Polling (ou Le Vote aux « Hustings ») — démontrent la corruption politique endémique lors des élections parlementaires de la Grande-Bretagne du XVIIIe siècle, avant la Grande réforme de 1832. Le quatrième et dernier sujet, Chairing the Member (ou Les Élus portés en triomphe), montre la célébration de la victoire du candidat Tory et de ses partisans. Les tableaux sont conservés au Sir John Soane's Museum, à Londres. Les estampes, des eaux-fortes et burin d'un assez grand format, habituel pour l'artiste (autour de 400 × 540 mm), sont réalisées et publiées après les tableaux, et sur une période assez longue : entre 1755 et 1758. Dessinés par William Hogarth, elles sont gravées par d'autres artistes — Charles Grignion, François Morellon de La Cave et F. Aviline — même si Hogarth participe à leur réalisation ou à leur impression. Les estampes sont notamment conservée au British Museum et au Metropolitan Museum of Art.

L'ultimo dipinto, Chairing the Member, mostra le celebrazioni dei vincitori candidati Tory e dei loro sostenitori. In quel periodo ogni collegio elettorale eleggeva due parlamentari, e il suffragio era per censo, quindi solo una piccola minoranza della popolazione maschile poteva votare. Non c'era scrutinio segreto, quindi la corruzione e le intimidazioni erano diffuse. Tuttavia, questa visione tradizionale è stata messa in discussione dagli storici recenti che hanno osservato una vivace partecipazione politica locale in questo periodo. Gli originali sono custoditi dal Sir John Soane's Museum di Londra. Le opere sono state anche riprodotte da una serie di stampe.
