The majority coalition in Italy has introduced an amendment to the electoral law aimed at allowing citizens living away from their registered residence to vote in national elections, referendums, and European elections. This initiative was highlighted by representatives of Fratelli d'Italia, Lega, Forza Italia, and Noi Moderati, who emphasized that this marks the first time a center-right majority has taken a concrete step to ensure students and workers outside their home towns can exercise their voting rights without returning to their place of residence. The amendment follows previous trials during European elections and referendums, and the coalition expressed hope that the opposition would support the measure rather than obstruct the electoral reform for partisan interests.

This includes students, workers, and individuals receiving medical treatment who are staying in a different province for at least nine months.
