Entering the voting booth in Italy could soon feel more like an eye examination than a traditional election. The new electoral law, "Stabilicum" (or controversially "Melonellum"), will result in ballots that are so large that they have already been referred to as "sheets". The center-right's reform, based on a proportional system with a majority bonus of 70 deputies and 35 senators once the 42% vote threshold is reached, will force Italians into a real visual decoding test. There will be no need to handwrite any names: the ballot, printed on thick paper, will include a dense grid of over a hundred candidates, which can be marked out with a simple X, just as in a multiple-choice quiz. In a carefully designed visual hierarchy, the names of the blocked-list lead candidates will stand out at the top in huge lettering, followed by lists of preferred candidates and those whose election will be "automatic" due to the coalition bonus. Voting could therefore become a task of meticulous reading under the (often very dim) lamp at the polling station for Italian citizens, even more so than in the past. With due regard to individuals with weak vision.
