Why It Matters
The electoral law is under parliamentary discussion between the House and the Senate. The text requires further reading in Montecitorio after the changes made to Palazzo Madama.
The Chamber of the Chamber will examine, in third reading, the electoral law - where modified by the Senate - from Monday 28 September. This was established by the Montecitorio group leaders' conference.
The meeting of the majority Sherpas on the electoral law ended after just over two hours. According to what is reported, the knot of the so-called "anti-bushes" rule remains to be resolved and reflection is also underway on the possibility of extending the off-site vote to caregivers. The possibility of a run-off definitively disappears while the threshold above which the majority prize is won will remain at 42%. Furthermore, there is nothing to be done about the proposal contained in an FdI amendment which restricted the time within which one must resign as mayor if one is running for office.
