The adult male citizens voted. They voted in fortnightly assemblies.
In today's representative democracies, citizens elect representatives to a parliament, and hope that their representative will vote the way they wish.

Is Roman society freer and more open than athenian society?
It depends on what group you are referring to. The Athenian democracy involved more people in a direct process. Unfortunately, there were so many people who were not allowed to participate as citizens. To be an Athenian citizen, one had to be free-born males, with both parents being Athenian, and must have completed military training. If one met all the criteria, he could vote, serve on juries, and pay taxes. Roman citizens were land owners, but citizenship could be offered to formerly defeated foes after the province had been annexed into the nation.
