Electoral law: 25 appeals filed, first hearing on 16 December
Published
Twenty-five appeals against the new electoral law were filed yesterday. The law, backed by the centre-right, came into force only recently and is now at the centre of a legal and political debate.
The appeals ask for a review of whether the new legislation complies with the principles of the Constitution. It is not yet clear how many of these appeals will be upheld, and for the time being the law remains in force. The lawyers and parties that filed the appeals are following every step of the procedure closely.
The first hearing is scheduled for 16 December. On that date, the judges will begin examining the appeals and deciding how to proceed. The timetable could change depending on subsequent decisions.
For Italian citizens, the issue is important because the electoral law determines how deputies and senators are chosen. In the coming weeks, it will therefore be useful to follow the news about the hearings and any decisions the judges make.
