Abstract

This paper’s aim is to reconstruct the electoral question that has affected
Italy for four years. After the famous judgement n.1/2014 of the Constitutional Court, the Italian electoral political system has been one of the most unstable, considering that another electoral system was declared unconstitutional. The latest elections were held with a mixed system that caused a deadlock in the formation of the government. The new electoral law has dissatisfied everyone and seems to be temporary, waiting for a new and coveted political balance.

Summary:
1. Premise - 2. From 2005 to 2014: three elections with an unconstitutional electoral law - 3. A new electoral law never applied, but unconstitutional - 4. An approved electoral law (in the run-up to the elections) that displeases everyone. - 5. The elections of March 4, 2018 and the deadlock in the formation of the government - 6. A system searching for a coveted balance.
