Election law, the League is back on the governors' third term: the amendment inserted in the reform

The article discusses an electoral law reform proposal by the League (Lega), aiming to change the term limit for regional governors from 'second mandate' to 'third mandate.' The proposed amendment, introduced by Lega deputy Massimiliano Panizzut, would allow regions to extend the maximum number of consecutive terms for regional presidents from two to three. The change would require regional laws to adopt the new rule after the national legislation takes effect. While the amendment has passed an initial review and is now under consideration, its final approval remains uncertain. The move is seen as an attempt by the League to reintroduce this issue into coalition discussions, particularly targeting allies like Fratelli d'Italia who have resisted similar proposals. Meanwhile, Futuro Nazionale is pushing back against mandatory gender alternation in candidate lists.
