The Tribal Assembly<span> or </span>Assembly of the People<span> (</span>comitia populi tributa<span>) of the </span>Roman Republic<span> was an assembly consisting of all Roman citizens convened by the tribes (tributim). During the </span>Roman Republic<span>, citizens were organized on the basis of 35 </span>tribes: four urban tribes of the citizens in the city of Rome, and 31 rural tribes of citizens outside the city. The tribes gathered in the Tribal Assembly to vote on legislative, judicial and electoral matters. Each tribe voted separately and one after the other. In each tribe, decisions were made by majority vote and its decision counted as one vote regardless of how many electors each tribe held. Once a majority of tribes voted in the same way on a given measure, the voting ended and the matter was decided.[1]<span> The president of the Tribal Assembly was usually either a "</span>consul" or a "praetor<span>"</span>
