The 'Stabilicum' electoral law returns to committee in the Chamber of Deputies.

The electoral law reform, dubbed 'Stabilicum,' returned to the Chamber of Deputies today for the final parliamentary step, following the Senate's approval. The text was examined in the Constitutional Affairs Committee at Montecitorio, where informal hearings with experts and constitutional scholars have begun.

The roadmap calls for amendments to be submitted by tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22, before moving to the floor examination on Monday, September 29. The majority's goal is final approval by the first week of October, with the possibility of resorting to a confidence vote to accelerate the timetable.

The discussion on electoral reform, called 'Stabilicum' because it aims to ensure greater government stability, originates from the majority's desire to change the voting system. The process began with the presentation of the draft law and saw a first passage in the Senate, where it was approved, before returning to the Chamber for the final examination.

The text introduces a proportional system with a majority bonus awarded to the coalition that reaches 42% of the votes, guaranteeing 70 additional deputies and 35 senators. Among the most debated novelties are the increase in signatures required to present new lists (from 1,500 to 6,000) and the possibility of expressing three preferences on partially blocked lists. The opposition criticizes these measures, considering them an attempt to consolidate the power of the current majority.
