Elections, here is the single seat: for the first time no more distinct files for men and women

To seat number 27 of Genoawhere he voted for the administrative, for the first time since 1946 the voters had not had to put his two rows, one for men and one for women. There has been only one. This is due to a provision that anticipated the application of the law definitively approved a few days ago. It was thought that the new law could be applied starting from the referendum of 8 and 9 June and instead there was this anticipation in Genoa.

The Corriere della Sera And The XIX century They show the sign that was exhibited at the entrance of the Via Prà section with a flag with the widest possible inclusion: «This is an accessible, inclusive and respectful seat of trans and non -binary identities. The waiting line is unique and not distinguished by gender ». It reads again: “The legislation has come late for this election, in this seat we carry on by making the unique line not divided by gender”.

On May 15, the Chamber converted into law the decree that eliminates the division by gender into the electoral lists. There will be no more separate files for men and women. For married women or widows, the husband’s surname must no longer be indicated. Everything went back to the Bonomi government and at the first time when women had the right to vote. For speeds they were in registers aside.

The lists have not been recomposed quickly enough for the electoral round of administrative, but will be made for the referendums of 8 and 9 June and for all the other electoral rounds of the year and subsequent. “On the separate lists we overcome an anachronistic rule,” said the senator of the Democratic Party Cecilia d’Elia, “who could also be a source of discrimination for non -binary or transition people”. Paolo Emilio Russo of Forza Italia adds: “Thanks to the comparison between majority and opposition, we cancel an anachronistic rule in force since 1945”.
