Elections in Italy

<!-- "none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see WP:SDNONE -->

National-level elections in Italy are called periodically to form a parliament consisting of two houses: the Chamber of Deputies (Camera dei Deputati) with 400 members; and the Senate of the Republic (Senato della Repubblica) with 200 elected members, plus a few appointed senators for life. Italy is a parliamentary republic: the President of the Republic is elected for a seven-year term by the two houses of Parliament in joint session, together with special electors appointed by the Regional Councils.

Italy had a mixed-member majoritarian system in place between 1993 and 2005. The 2006 elections were the first elections conducted under a closed-list proportional system rather than a mixed system.
