Paragraph 33
 

In Italy, for the election of the Chamber of Deputies, according to the recently revised electoral law, there are 28 so-called “circoscrizioni”, divided in 232 one-member constituencies for the election of 5/8 of the deputies and at the same time in 60 to 65 multi-member constituencies, to be designed by a legislative decree, to elect the remaining 3/8 of the deputies (398). The Senate is elected on a regional basis. The national territory is divided into 109 one-member constituencies, plus 1 for the Valle d’Aosta and 6 for Trentino-Alto Adige. Multi-member constituencies (30 to 35) will be created for the election of the other 308 senators.
