The Italian Chamber of Deputies has rejected electoral reforms proposed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's party by a single vote.
- The chamber voted 187 in favor and 188 against in a secret ballot, defeating the proposed amendments.
- The reforms would have introduced a proportional representation system with a 42% threshold for an additional majority bonus.
- General elections are scheduled to be held in Italy next year.
