Convenzione europea dei diritti umani e problemi di costituzionalità della legge elettorale italiana

2013

By an order of 21 March 2013, the Court of Cassation referred to the Constitutional Court the question of constitutionality of the current Italian electoral law on the grounds that it runs counter to the constitutional principles of free and equal suffrage. The Constitutional Court has been called by the referring judge to focus on three main aspects of law: the closed list system; the majority bonus in the Chamber of Deputies, by which the coalition that wins the highest number of votes receives at least 55% of the seats; and the majority bonus in the Senate, which is assigned on a regional level.

Questo contributo offre un breve commento all'articolo 56 della Costituzione italiana, avente ad oggetto la Camera dei Deputati, la sua natura elettiva, i principi e le regole per la sua composizione. Viene preso in esame il testo costituzionale del 1948 ed il significato delle elezioni democratiche; il rapporto fra eletti ed elettori e le revisioni costituzionali del 1963 e del 2001; il problema della forza prescrittiva dell'articolo 56: l'esigenza di adattamento della Costituzione all'evoluzione del quadro politico; l'articolo 56 della Costituzione come limite per il legislatore in materia elettorale: il ruolo della magistratura e della Corte costituzionale.
