There were two general kinds of assemblies: a <i><a href="/wiki/Contio" title="Contio">contio</a></i> where a crowd was convened to hear speeches or statements from speakers without any further arrangements and a <i>comitia</i> where citizens were called and arranged into voting blocks.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELintott199942–43,_noting_that_"[''Concilium'']_might_on_occasion_refer_to_assemblies_of_the_whole_people"_and_that_it_was_used_for_emphasis_on_who_was_voting_(eg_plebs)_rather_than_how_(eg_by_tribes)_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELintott199942–43,_noting_that_"[''Concilium'']_might_on_occasion_refer_to_assemblies_of_the_whole_people"_and_that_it_was_used_for_emphasis_on_who_was_voting_(eg_plebs)_rather_than_how_(eg_by_tribes)-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>When called to enact legislation or make decisions, such as on guilt or war, citizens were in the historical period always divided into voting blocks. Citizens voted directly in these blocks, with a majority of the blocks determining the decision of the assembly; this system was <a href="/wiki/Direct_democracy" title="Direct democracy">directly democratic</a> with no <a href="/wiki/Representative_democracy" title="Representative democracy">representatives</a>. There were three kinds of voting blocks – <i>curiae</i>, <i>centuriae</i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Roman_tribe" title="Roman tribe">tribus</a></i> – giving rise, respectively, to the <a href="/wiki/Curiate_assembly" title="Curiate assembly">curiate</a>, <a href="/wiki/Centuriate_assembly" title="Centuriate assembly">centuriate</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Tribal_assembly" title="Tribal assembly">tribal assemblies</a>. In the middle and late republics, only the centuriate and tribal assemblies were politically relevant. </p><p>The assemblies <a href="/wiki/Elections_in_the_Roman_Republic" title="Elections in the Roman Republic">elected all magistrates</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Republic" title="Roman Republic">Roman Republic</a>. They also had plenary authority to make laws,<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELintott199940_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELintott199940-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but only exercised this authority in accordance with procedures buttressed by Roman religious practices. Prior to a voting assembly, notice had to be given. On the day thereof, the presiding magistrate took <a href="/wiki/Auspices" class="mw-redirect" title="Auspices">auspices</a> with the gods. When the people were summoned a prayer was conducted and the matter at hand introduced. Speakers invited by the presiding magistrate then could be given; citizens in the assembly had no presumptive right to participate except by listening to the proceedings. When the president called the people to vote, they did so by blocks with a result announced when a majority was reached.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELintott199940–41,_43–49_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELintott199940–41,_43–49-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The curiate and centuriate assemblies date to the <a href="/wiki/Regal_period" class="mw-redirect" title="Regal period">regal period</a>. Their functions in this early period are poorly documented but mainly relate to the election on the Roman monarch. After the <a href="/wiki/Overthrow_of_the_Roman_monarchy" title="Overthrow of the Roman monarchy">overthrow of the Roman monarchy</a> (dated traditionally to 509 BC) the centuriate assembly is said to have elected the magistrates that would become the consuls, with the tribal assembly being formed shortly after the creation of the republic. The <a href="/wiki/Plebeian_council" title="Plebeian council">plebeian council</a>, on the other hand, was formed and became coequal with the other assemblies over the course of the <a href="/wiki/Conflict_of_the_Orders" title="Conflict of the Orders">Conflict of the Orders</a>. The fall of the republic did not mean that the assemblies stopped to meet.

Whether this was ever the case is unclear; regardless, by the third century BC the assembly did not closely resemble the Roman people under arms and it served a largely electoral purpose, as it was rarely called to vote on legislation or to decide – as was its theoretical legal right as place of final appeal – capital cases. </p><p>Assembly procedure was weighted towards the upper classes. Both before and after reforms some time between 241 and 216 BC, the first class and equestrians voted first. Their votes would be tallied and announced. Then the classes would vote in descending order of wealth. Once the requisite number of candidates received a majority of voting units, voting would end. Because the equestrians, first class, and second class made a clear majority of voting units, the lower census classes would never be called on if they were in agreement. There is scholarly disagreement as to the extent to which the <i>comitia centuriata</i> facilitated competitive elections, even within its de facto restrictive electorate. The traditional view is that Roman elections were largely unrepresentative of the population as a whole and dominated by the wealthy through social connections. </p> While the assembly continued to exist during the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Empire" title="Roman Empire">Roman Empire</a>, it served largely to approve decisions made by the emperor and senate.
