The lex Gabinia tabellaria was a reform passed in 139 BC that changed the way voters cast their ballots. Prior to the reform, voters would queue on a raised gangway and state their ballot to a clerk.

There were three important groups in the Roman republic: the senate, the magistrates, and the variety of popular assemblies. The senate was a group of wealthy landowners who were appointed by the magistrates. The magistrates were a group of officials who were elected by the people. The popular assemblies were a group of people who were elected by the people to represent them. The consuls could veto the acts of other consuls.<\/p>\n
