Assemblies & election returns
The identity of the electing body matters. These are historical returns, not modern popular-vote totals or a complete list of all elections.
Centuriate assemblyComitia Centuriata
Citizens organised in centuries. Elected consuls and praetors; also exercised legislative and judicial functions. A century was a voting unit, not a modern constituency of equal population.
Tribal assembly of the peopleComitia Tributa
Citizens organised in tribes. Elected quaestors and curule aediles, and voted on measures under a competent presiding magistrate.
Assembly of the plebsConcilium Plebis
Plebeians organised in tribes. Elected tribunes and plebeian aediles and passed plebiscites. It was not the lower house of a bicameral parliament.
Not every meeting was a ballotOther civic gatherings
A contio heard addresses without taking a binding vote. The curiate assembly had distinct formal functions. Priestly elections could use seventeen tribes selected by lot; see the individual return.

Election dates and office terms are different. The ordinary consuls of 63 BCE were elected in 64 BCE. Where an annual register is all that survives in this index, no vote totals or competitive election are inferred.
