"Canvassing for Votes" is an engraving by English artist William Hogarth, created in 1755 as part of a series known as "The Humours of an Election." This series represented a humorous and satirical examination of 18th-century English politics, in specific the Oxfordshire election of 1754.

Each work in the series, including "Canvassing for Votes", mirrors the chaos, corruption, and bribery often prevalent during parliamentary elections in the Georgian Era. Critics often interpret "Canvassing for Votes" as Hogarth's critique on the political culture, depicting a broad range of societal spectrums, and the overwhelming influence of money and bribery in politics.

The work portrays a scene at an inn where election agents make illicit deals with constituents, fuse alcohol with political maneuverings, and use feminine charm as a lure. Each character in the picture represents different social and political commentaries, making the composite painting a social document as well as a work of humor and wit.

Today, "Canvassing for Votes" and the other works in the "Humours of an Election" series offer insights into Hogarth's sharp social and political critiques, as well as his versatile artistry. Additionally, they provide valuable historical context for the understanding of voting and democratic systems in 18th-century England.
