- The kingship was hereditary in nature. The ruler selected his eldest son as the heir apparent. He was known as Yuvaraja. The Yuvarajas were appointed as Governors in the provinces mainly for administrative training.
- The Chola rulers established a well organised system of administration. The empire, for administrative convenience, was divided into provinces or mandalams. Each mandalam was subdivided into nadus. Within each naadu, there were many kurrams means groups of villages. The lowest unit was the gramam or village.
- Local administration worked through various bodies such as Urar, Sabhaiyar, Nagarattar and Nattar. With the expansion of agriculture, numerous peasantsettlements came up in the countryside. They were known as Ur. The Urar, who were landholders, acted as spokesmen in the Ur. Sabhaiyar in Brahmin villages also functioned in carrying out administrative, financial and judicial functions.
- The assemblies in Ur, Sabha, Nagaram and Nadu worked through various committees. The committees took care of irrigation, roads, temples, gardens,collection of revenue and conduct of religious festivals.
- From the uthiramerur inscriptions we gained knowledge of how members were elected to the committees of the village sabha in the inscriptions found there. One member was to be elected from each ward. There were 30 wards in total. The eligibility to contest was to men in the age group of 35–70, well-versed in vedic texts and scriptures, and also owned land and house. The process of election was as follows: The names of qualified candidates from each ward were written on the palm-leaf slips and put into a pot. The eldest of the assembly would engage a boy to pull out one slip and declare his name. Various committees were decided in this way.
