List Of Italian Constituencies (1946–1994)
This is a list of Italian constituencies from 1946 to present. For the election of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, since 1993 Italy is divided in 27 districts called ''circoscrizioni''. However, the distribution of seats being calculated at national level, districts serve only to choose the single candidates inside the party lists.

Finally, for the Communal elections no districts are used. Electoral ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
