Map coverage, vote definitions & attribution

Colours show the largest reported party/list vote total in each reporting unit, not elected seats or government formation. Boundaries follow the source crosswalk; these are not necessarily parliamentary constituencies.

These local votes are separate from the IPU national seat archive. Shares use the sum of source-listed party votes, not registered voters. First-preference, list and candidate ballots are distinct. Names and counts are preserved from the published compilation.

7,904 of 8,086 reporting units have source-matched displayable boundaries. Non-geographic ballots, unmatched units and excluded overseas geography remain selectable. A missing boundary never becomes a zero vote or fabricated polygon.

Party colours are preserved from source identity records. Ties, independents and unverified identities use neutral grey. Text abbreviations are not official logos. Display simplification does not create legal boundary documents.

Largest party means most seats in this table; it is not a declaration of who formed the government. Coalitions remain grouped as published.

This national seat summary does not include constituency-level results or a riding map. Electoral boundary verification remains pending for this election.

Chambers, official links & source information

Election figures are dated snapshots. Statutory chamber membership and the current electoral-system description come from the chamber profile; they may differ from seats contested at an earlier election. A largest-party result does not establish the governing coalition.

Source note: Note on the new statutory number of members: Article 4 of the Constitutional Amendment Law 19 October 2020 no. 1 stipulates that the 2020 constitutional amendments “shall become effective after the first dissolution of Parliament following the date of entry into force of this Law”. The new statutory number of members in both chambers of parliament thus became effective on 22 July 2022 when the 2018 legislature was dissolved in view of early elections to be held on 25 September 2022. The number of members in the Chamber of Deputies has decreased from 630 to 400 and that of the Senate from 315 to 200*. Both chambers will continue to be elected under a mixed system (parallel system, using list-based proportional representation and first past the post), see below. *In addition, as was the case for the previous Senate, the President of the Republic may appoint up to five citizens. Former Presidents of the Republic are ex officio Senators for life unless they renounce the office. Chamber of Deputies: 400 members - List proportional representation system: 253 members (245 members elected from 28 constituencies in Italy and 8 members elected from constituencies abroad) - First-past-the-post system: 147 members elected from 28 national constituencies Senate: 200 members - List proportional representation system: 126 (122 members elected from 20 regional constituencies and 4 members elected from constituencies abroad) - First-past-the-post system: 74 members elected from 20 regional constituencies

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PARTIES

Party leadership.

4 source-reported records

Each leadership record carries its own date and source. Undated records are not verified for the election date. These names do not identify every constituency candidate or establish who governs; member-party leaders are not automatically a coalition’s joint leaders.
