A Comicio was in Roman Law an assembly of inhabitants of the town, in which all actions to be taken in favor of society and against those who did not correspond were decided in respect and obedience to the legal guideline that began to be written in Rome. According to its etymology, the word comicio comes from the Latin "Comitium" which means "Group or Company" hence it is established that an election is nothing more than a meeting of people who together reach an agreement.
The history of Roman Law places us with respect to the elections at the beginning of this, when King Romulus ordered the division of the patricians into three tribes, which would later be subdivided into 10 curiae. These curiae would form the first elections. In the Republic, in the absence of law, the magistrates and the assemblies were made up of these elections that decided and formed an important part of all the actions that took place in Rome. The figure of the election was very diverse, over time, elections were emerging for each of the types of structures that existed: Elections for Centuries, they were small delegations of the families that made up the curiae and an election for tribes with greater influence in the votes that were generated in the discussions.
With the rise of the commoners, these types of organizations also appeared among them, to the point that when they were accepted into the Senate, they were based on an election that was called "Election of the Plebis"
