In the corner where Via dell'Abbondanza enters the Forum we find a building that acted as a sort of polling station for municipal elections.
The original building had no roof and could be reached via five entrances in the northern wall and five in the eastern one so that voters could enter from the Forum and go straight out into Via dell'Abbondanza. However, after the earthquake of 62 A.D. only three entrances were used: one in the north wall and two leading to the Forum.
On the southern side of the building we find a podium where the magistrates sat when presiding over the electoral proceedings, while the other two walls contained niches housing honorary statues.
