Referendum results


On 12 and 13 June the Italians were called to vote on three issues:
nuclear, water management and 'legittimo impedimento'.

A referendum is valid if at least 50% of the population expresses his opinion. It is said that the quorum was reached.
The last time a referendum (type like 12-13 June 2011) reached a quorum was in Italy in 1995.

The Italian people have responded decisively: 56% attendance and an average of 95% of votes in favor of the proposed repeal of the law.


Italy says NO to building new nuclear plants.
Italy says NO to private management of water.
Italy says NO to 'legittimo impedimento': the leading figures of government, as the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, can be processed even during their political mandate.
