Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that following the final approval of the new electoral law, Italians would vote again, with voters able to choose their party, coalition, program, candidate for prime minister and members of parliament.

Meloni stated that the center-right had reintroduced the preferential voting system, which had not been used for more than 30 years, allowing citizens to directly choose who would represent them. She added that rules had also been introduced to support government stability in parliament.

Meloni said that the law also introduced the right to vote abroad for students, workers and family caregivers in the circumstances specified by the legislation. She noted that the measure particularly addressed the demands of citizens living far from the municipalities where they were officially registered as residents.

Meloni stated that stable governments and greater participation would strengthen political continuity, accountability and the ability to deliver concrete responses to citizens, adding that the center-right had maintained its unity and determination.
