Electoral law, appeals begin: first hearing on December 16

Twenty-five appeals against the new electoral law in Italy have been filed, with the first hearing scheduled for December 16. The law, supported by the center-right, faces criticism for its majority prize and candidate nomination requirements. Opponents argue it alters the government structure without constitutional amendment. Key contested points include blocked candidates, multiple nominations, and gender quotas. A ruling from the Constitutional Court is expected by January 2027.
