| Oct 4, 2014 at 1:07 | comment | added | MCW♦ | @semaphore - good catch. I'm not sure what the correct word is. I suspect "pre-agricultural"; it isn't clear what OP really means, because the Greeks were voting when the Romans were still looking for women, and most primitive societies operate on some form of consensus, which is kin to "voting". | |

| Oct 3, 2014 at 19:09 | comment | added | Semaphore | @MarkC.Wallace Do you perhaps mean pre-historic governance? | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 18:58 | comment | added | MCW♦ | @Semaphore I don't think so - as I said, I've seen an answer, but not in a form I can easily cite. Fukayama's book on political history up to the French Revolution covers this material in, I think, a single chapter. Should be possible to summarize. | |

| Oct 3, 2014 at 18:38 | comment | added | Semaphore | Would this not be a bit too broad for a single question? | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 18:38 | comment | added | MCW♦ | I don't think it is a duplicate, and I know it is possible to offer a summary - I remember an exhibit at the Hawaii state museum on governance, approximate title "Big men, Chieftains and Kings". There is a theory of pre-modern governance, and I'm confident that others will be able to provide examples. | |

Fixed wording of title, and expanded question a bit.

| Oct 3, 2014 at 16:02 | comment | added | MCW♦ | The term "citizens" is problematic. Many societies "vote" for kingship; the Iroquois vote for tribal chieftains in two houses -the men's lodge and the women's lodge. I doubt we could go back to find when that originated. | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 15:53 | comment | added | Semaphore | What do you mean by "prior to Rome"? Prior to the foundation of Rome? Prior to the first Roman consuls? Prior to the institution of Plebeian Tribues? Does aristocrats electing one or more of their own to administer the city count as "citizens had a chance to vote"? | |
