There were several assemblies in Rome. The assembly of the soldiers elected the higher officers of state (consuls, praetors and censors) voted on going to war, and acted as court of appeal for treason and death penalty cases until Sulla crated a special jury in 82 BC. The assembly of the tribes elected military tribunes with consular powers and the lower officers of state (qaestors and curule aediles) voted on laws, except those on war and acted as court of appeal for other cases again until Sulla created a special jury. The plebeian councils elected the plebeian tribunes and plebein aediles and voted on laws called plebiscites which originally were binding only on plebeians and later were made binding on all citizens.
There was also another assembly, the comitia curiata, which was the original one which is said to be dated back to Romulus and which elected the kings. This assembly was retained when the assembly of the soldiers and the assembly of the tribes were created under the 6th king but it lost its political significance. Under the republic, It retained the power to confer imperium (command) to the officers of state with imperium after they had been elected, it made decisions of religious matters and on questions of family relations. It decayed by the 3rd century.

∙ 10y agoRome had three popular assemblies. During the Roman Republic the assembly of the soldiers (comitia centuriata) elected the senior officers of state (the consuls, the praetors and the censors) voted on peace or war, and acted as a court of appeal for capital punishment cases. The assembly of the tribes (comitia tributa) elected the junior officers of state (the aediles and the quaestors) and acted as a court appeal for other cases. The function as court of appeal of these two assemblies was repealed by Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 82 BC, who transferred it to a special jury (quaestiones perpetuae). Over time the plebeian council (concilium plebis) which had been formed during the Early Republic, became the main body for voting on bills. It is not clear how this voting on bills was distributed between the two other assemblies before this.
There was also another popular assembly, the assembly of the curiae (comitia curiata). It was created by Romulus, the first king of Rome, who divided Rome into thirty constituencies. It elected the new king after the candidate was selected by the senate. It is not clear whether it also voted on other matters. Over time this assembly fell into insignificance. The assembly of the soldiers and the assembly of the tribes were created by Servius Tullius, the 6th king of Rome, in the 6th century BC.
Under the rule by emperors the popular assemblies did not do any voting. The officers of states became appointees of the emperor and laws because imperial edicts.
