Consular Call for candidates

I hereby call for candidates to stand for election to the ordinary magistracies of the Comitia Centuriata.

Anyone wishing to serve in any of these positions must have been a citizen for at least six months by Kal. Apr. MMDCCLXII (May 1st, 2009) and be an assiduus (tax-paying) citizen. I will convene the comitia for the elections at the end of April, but candidates are welcome to announce themselves and begin campaigning if they wish.

All potential candidates must contact me with their intention to stand for office directly by sending a message to M.Curiatius.Complutensis at NovaRoma dot org in order to be placed on the ballot. Please include the word "candidate" in the subject of the message, and be sure to tell me your full Nova Roman name. Simply announcing your candidacy to one of the lists shall not be accepted. You must write to me directly.

Candidacies will be accepted until 12 May 2009 (07.00 hrs CET Rome). The contio is tentatively scheduled to begin on 12 May, with the elections to follow tentatively beginning on 20 May.

On behalf of the Res Publica Libera Senatus Populique Novae Romae I, Marcus Curiatius Complutensis, Senior Consul, hereby issue this call for candidates for the following offices:

Voting Procedure in Nova Roma

Voting in Nova Roma follows the procedures outlined here.

Comitia Centuriata

The Contio will begin at 21:00 hours, Roma time (Central European Time), on 12 May and will last until 23.59 hours, Roma time, on 20 May. During the Contio the diribitores need to select and announce the Centuria Praerogativa.

The Centuria Praerogativa is centuria XIV. Note that centuries will be realigned shortly before the election. This is done in order to capture recent taxpayers into the correct centuries.


The Comitia Centuriata election will follow this schedule:

  • 07:00 hrs CET 25 May: Voting by the Centuria Praerogativa alone begins.
  • 07:00 hrs CET 27 May: Diribitores capture tally of Centuria Praerogativa.
  • 07:00 hrs CET 27 May: Voting by all First Class centuries now permitted.
  • 07:00 hrs CET 30 May: Diribitores capture tally of all First Class centuries.
  • 07:00 hrs CET 30 May: Voting by all centuries now permitted.
  • 17:00 hrs CET 3 June: All voting ends.

The diribitores shall provide reports of the progress of the voting in accordance with the provisions of the LEX FABIA DE RATIONE COMITIORUM CENTURIATORUM.


The offices, number of openings, candidates and rogationes are:

Censor Suffectus (1)

The censorship is the most respected and sacred magistracies of Nova Roma. There are two censores who are elected only for census years, that is, once in every two-and-a-half years period by the comitia centuriata, and unlike other magistrates, they have a 18 months term of office, however, by tradition, they are expected to step down as soon as they have completed the census. In corporate terminology, the censors are the secretaries of the corporation. The censores have with the highest auctoritas to safeguard the public morality and honor but third in rank after the consules and praetores, because they do not possess imperium, and have no power to convene either the senate or an assembly of the people. Their principal duty of the censors is to conduct the census twice in every five year period, the traditional lustrum, and, as a part of the census, to maintain the register of citizens, equestrians and senators, to classify all citizens according to their merit, to allocate citizens into classes, centuries and tribes, to distribute awards and reprimands, to elevate or remove members of the equestrian order, to appoint and remove members of the senate, and to guard public honor and morality. It is also the censors' job to set the general direction of public works and finances between two censuses, in cooperation with the aediles.

The eligibility requirements for censor are set by the lex Tullia annalis: only those assidui can be candidates who are at least 40 years old, and have previously served as consul. The censores enter office on Kal. Ian. ‡ (1 January) of the year for which they are elected to hold the census, or if they are elected out of order, they enter office as soon as elected.
