Ancora su premio di maggioranza, liste bloccate e candidature plurime. Note alle nuove ordinanze di rinvio dell’Italicum

Abstract

The article analyses the content of three referring orders (from Court of Messina, Torino and Perugia) challenging the new electoral statute approved by Italian Parliament (l. n. 52/2015). The analysis is carried out against the background of the most recent case law of the Italian Constitutional Court. In the judgment n. 1/2014, indeed, the Court tried to shed a light on the notions of “freedom” and “personality” of the voting right in a really innovative way. The Author specially focuses on controversial profiles stemming from the new orders, paying special attention to the “majority bonus” and to the run-off second ballot, as well as to the system of “partially blocked lists”.
