Why It Matters
The Network for a Free and Equal Vote contests the constitutional legitimacy of the current electoral law.
There are six points that are raised in the appeals developed by the Network for a free and equal vote.
"We believe that many aspects of this law reflect points already declared unconstitutional in the past" explained Professor Enrico Grosso during a press conference in the Chamber.
"The first issue is the majority bonus, both in numerical terms and in terms of the methods of assignment through a fixed number" he explained. The second aspect concerns the assignment of the former to the Senate on a national basis. The third concerns the "ways in which seats are assigned to individuals", then gender alternation, the indication of the prime minister candidate and the signatures.
