Italy's Parliament Approves Electoral Reform Introducing Majority Bonus System
Italy's parliament approved a new electoral reform introducing a fully proportional system with a majority bonus for alliances winning over 42% of the vote. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her centre-right coalition argue the change will enhance political stability and accountability ahead of the 2027 election. Opposition parties criticize the reform as favoring Meloni's government and question its constitutionality, pledging to challenge it in the Constitutional Court. The secret ballot vote passed 227 to 164 amid debates on its potential impact.
