Dopo le sentenze 1/2014 e 35/2017: ancora alla ricerca di un nuovo sistema elettorale

Under rulings no. 1/2014 and no. 35/2017, the Constitutional Court struck down a number of provisions of the electoral laws no. 270/2005 and no. 52/2015, respectively. This article analyses the electoral systems for the Chamber of deputies and for the Senate resulting from the Constitutional Court’s rulings, focusing on their differences and their potential effects on the election outcome. The need for an harmonization of the two electoral systems is emphasized and a proposal of an incremental electoral reform is advanced.
