It depended on the kind of tribune. During the Roman Republic the Tribunes of the Soldiers were elected by the Assembly of the tribes. Each year 24 young men in their late twenties with senatorial ambitions were elected to serve as Tribunes of the Soldiers (tribuni militum). They were distributed six to each of the consuls' four legions as the legions' commanding officers.

The Tribunes of the Plebs (or Plebeian Tribunes), who were the leaders of the plebeians and represented the interests of the plebeians were elected by the Plebeian Council (Concilium Plebis).
