  • The center-right coalition led by nationalist Giorgia Meloni secured a parliamentary majority in Italy’s general elections on Sunday, according to exit polls.
  • The projections indicated that the center-right alliance was winning between 227 and 257 of the 400 seats in the lower house of parliament and 111-131 of the 200 Senate seats.
  • Italy’s complicated electoral system was revised in time for the 2018 elections, meaning that a party or group is no longer guaranteed a majority if it can attain 40% of the vote as was the case beforehand.
