Italy's recent referendums on citizenship and labour laws failed due to low voter turnout, falling short of the required 50%, which was seen as a boost for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and a setback for the opposition. The votes aimed to reform citizenship requirements and labour protections but were largely boycotted, especially by Meloni's supporters, leading to a significant defeat for the proposals.

Italy is holding a two-day referendum on changing citizenship and labor laws, including reducing the residency requirement for citizenship from 10 to 5 years and enhancing worker protections. The vote, driven by grassroots campaigns, faces low turnout with political parties divided on participation; the center-left supports the reforms, while the right-wing government urges abstention, hoping the vote does not reach the 50% threshold for validity.
