Personale, uguale, libero e segreto. Il diritto di voto nell'ordinamento costituzionale italiano

Abstract

The book analyses the voting right in the Italian constitutional system, with special reference to the concepts of and “personality”, "equality", “freedom” and "secrecy" of the just mentioned right (art. 48 It. Const.). The analysis moves from the different theoretical approaches to the concept of the main political right and illustrates the works of Constituent Assembly on the subject. Finally it investigates thoroughly the most relevant judgments of the Constitutional Court concerning the electoral law, but also affecting the concept of “national representation” (Art. 67 It. Const.) and of the role of political parties (art. 49 It. Const.).
