The Sammarinese Citizenry Meeting of 1906 was the first session of the assembly of all householders which took place in San Marino after three centuries.
Since the Middle Ages the Meeting (Arengo in Italian) had been declared the supreme autority of the Republic. However, during the 17th century, the Meeting created the Grand and General Council to rule the country. The Council itself refused for centuries to convene the Meeting, passing a law introducing the co-option of his members, so to became fully independent.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Sammarinese Socialist Party harshly called for a democratic restauration in the country. After some delays, the Meeting was summoned on 25 March 1906 in the main Parish Church. Householders were asked whether the system of co-option of councillors for life should continue,[1] and whether the size of councils should be proportionate to the population of the communities they represented.[2] The first proposal was rejected by 90.65% of voters and the second was approved by 94.89%.[1][2] Consequently, the fisrt-ever election in the country were summoned for June 10, 2012.
