Summary
ANSA - ROME, JUL 16 - The Lower House on Thursday approved a controversial bill presented by Premier Giorgia Meloni's ruling coalition to change the election system with 217 votes in favour, 152 against and two abstentions. The coalition that comes first and crosses the threshold gets 70 extra seats in the Lower House and 35 in the Senate. The bill would see the current system, a mix of first-past-the-post and proportional representation, replaced with a proportional-representation system with bonus seats for a coalition that obtains at least 42% of the vote to ensure it has a working majority in parliament.
Furthermore, If no coalition reaches the 42% threshold, or the votes for the Lower House and the Senate produce different results, a purely proportional system is used.
