Italy enacts ‘Stabilicum’ electoral reform

Overview

Following parliamentary approval, President Sergio Mattarella has officially promulgated the ‘Stabilicum’ electoral law, marking a new political phase for Italy. The reform replaces the Rosatellum with a proportional model featuring a majority premium: any coalition or list securing at least 42 percent of the vote in both the Chamber and the Senate will be awarded 70 additional seats in the Chamber and 35 in the Senate. If no group reaches this threshold, seats will be distributed proportionally without the premium.

The law reintroduces voter preferences—allowing up to three choices—while maintaining blocked head-of-list candidates. It also expands voting rights to out-of-town students, workers, and caregivers. These changes are expected to shift political campaigning toward more localized, territory-based strategies. Additionally, the reform requires parties to designate a Prime Ministerial candidate in their program.

Opposition and civil society have reacted with intense criticism. Democratic Party deputy Anna Ascani described the law as a ‘political and institutional shambles’, while the Movimento 5 Stelle and other groups have characterized it as a ‘scam’ or ‘fraudulent law’. Critics argue the reform undermines gender parity and democratic representation. Legal challenges are anticipated, with opposition groups planning to appeal to the Constitutional Court to contest the constitutionality of the majority bonus and signature requirements for new parties.

Parallel to these electoral changes, the government is advancing its 2027-2029 budget framework, utilizing the European national safeguard clause to allocate approximately 28.8 billion euros toward defense and energy security.
