Italian electoral system

Italy's electoral system combines proportional representation with a-majority bonus. Most seats in Parliament are allocated nationally based on party vote share, ensuring proportionality. A portion of seats is assigned through a majoritarian system, where candidates compete in districts, and the winner gains extra seats to stabilize government formation. The system also includes thresholds—parties must exceed a certain vote percentage to enter Parliament—aiming to prevent fragmentation. Overall, it aims for fair representation while maintaining governability, balancing diverse political voices with stability.
