The collection of signatures for the referendum on reducing the number of years of residence required to apply for Italian citizenship (from ten to five) has met the 500 thousand signature quota in a short period of time. Political Thermometer conducted a study to better understand the electorate's voting intentions. According to the initial figures, those who oppose the reform are ahead. In reality, 42.3% of the population expresses the opinion that they would vote "definitely not, the current law is sufficient, perhaps it is even too liberal, 5 years are very little, it would further encourage immigration”. Of these, 11.1% are more inclined to say "no" than "yes" due to the fact that "5 years for an adult are few; it is better to favor, with the Ius Scholae, citizenship for minors already born or arrived as children in Italy". On the other hand, 35% of those supportive of the reform would undoubtedly vote in favor "also because the income and language proficiency requirements are stringent, those who work and have been here for at least five years are already part of the community". To those confident of the yes, another 10.2% advocate revision, noting that they desire "a Ius Scholae for minors, perhaps after 10 years of study, but this referendum is a signal in favor of integration". In summary, there is a gap of about 8 points, with the No vote leading in the referendum among both definite and potential voters (53.4% for No, 45.2% for Yes). Very few are undecided or unwilling to respond (1.4%).
