According to reports, an agreement was reached overnight within the majority on the new electoral law, aimed at ensuring "stability." The text, which some have already begun to dub 'stabilicum,' is now undergoing final technical refinements and a final review with the leaders, and will be submitted to the House in the next few hours, perhaps as early as today.
The general structure is the familiar one: abolishing the single-member constituencies of the Rosatellum system in favor of a proportional system with a majority bonus (70 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, 35 in the Senate) for the coalition that wins more than 40%, a runoff election between 35% and 40%, and the name of the prime ministerial candidate on the platform (and not on the ballot). There will be no preference votes . The threshold is 3%.
