La nuova legge elettorale alla prova dei fatti

The first application of so-called Rosatellum-bis highlighted inconsistencies and malfunctioning of organizational and procedural aspects and mechanisms. These flaws created many problems both during voting and scrutining phases. Such problems are related to so-called anti-fraud coupons and alleged transmission of nullity of the vote from the plurinominal to the uninominal sides. There are also problems during the phasis of the allocation of seats, since potential circmuvention of gender quotas, the lack of a sufficient number of candidates in the lists (so-called Sicilian case) and the mobility of seats assigned in constituencies (so-called translation of seats) were alleged. Hence, the present paper aims at analysing such issues according to a technical approach, i.e. from a perspective that goes “inside” electoral legislation. This study also has the purpose to try to find possible solutions to mentioned flaws, without any bias on the merits of the law.
