Referendum 8 and 9 June: how to vote, quorum, abstention

A abrogative referendum It is called to verify the will of the Italian voters to repeal, that is, eliminate, completely or in part a law. In this case, for referendum 8 and 9 June, the questions are 5 on citizenship and work: The voter is given a card for each question, each has a different color.

How to vote

The vote expresses itself by tracing a sign:
on the YES If you want the standard subjected to referendum to be repealed;
on the NO If you want the standard subjected to referendum to force.

Quorum

The consultation is valid if it votes 50% + 1 of those entitled to vote. This is the quorum. Otherwise the rules for which the quorum is not reached will remain in force. Each referendum can reach the quorum, it is not a unique count.

The invitations not to go to vote are a means used by those against the question posed by the referendum question and therefore do not want to be successful not reaching the quorum.

The position expressed by Giorgia Meloni goes in this sense. He says he will go to the polling station, but he will not collect the cards. Don’t withdraw them all is as if he abstains.

You can choose to collect the card only for one or some of the questions. This says the Interior Ministry: “Each voter can, in the event of contemporary performance of several referendums, refrain from participation in the vote for one or more of them”.

If the card does not withdraw, it is not contributed to the quorum. If you withdraw the card, but you get up, we contribute to the achievement of the quorum and then make the vote valid. Even if you do not vote for the yes or no, the white or null cards still go to cumulate for quorum. Once this is reached, only the cards with valid votes count.

When voting

On June 8 and 9 will vote for 5 repeal referendums on citizenship and work. The seats will be open on Sunday from 7 to 23 and Monday from 7 to 15.
