The term was first used by such ancient Greeks as Aristotle and Plato, who used it to describe a system where only the best of the citizens, chosen through a careful process of selection, would become rulers, and hereditary rule would actually have been forbidden, unless the rulers' children performed best and were better endowed with the attributes that make a person fit to rule compared with every other citizen in the polity. Hereditary rule in this understanding is more related to oligarchy, a corrupted form of aristocracy where there is rule by a few, but not by the best. Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Xenophon, and the Spartans considered aristocracy (the ideal form of rule by the few) to be inherently better than the ideal form of rule by the many (politeia), but they also considered the corrupted form of aristocracy (oligarchy) to be worse than the corrupted form of democracy (mob rule). This belief was rooted in the assumption that the masses could only produce average policy, while the best of men could produce the best policy, if they were indeed the best of men

So would it work? Republic but only people of merit can vote or rule?

Yes, it could work. Just look at Singapore. Aristocracy highly correlate with idea of meritocracy, Where the first generation of aristocrats, have the best positions in government. The first generation aristocrats are the most valuable people in the country. The fact that countries are now striving for equality and democracy is only a degenerate trend of Christianity, sooner or later it will pass and we will return to natural Hellenistic Dionysian values. Only if we don't degenerate even more into communism. Hierarchy, the will to power, and meritocracy are the values that were so discarded with the development of Christianity after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Now unfortunately is the age of egalitarianism after the cultural victory of the Soviet Union. But we will win, i believe in that.
