Italy’s justice referendum becomes a high stakes test for conservative Premier Giorgia Meloni

Recent polls show the race remains too close to call, with the “No” camp gaining late momentum in a polarized climate where turnout may prove decisive. After 12 hours of voting on the first day, according to Italy's Interior Ministry, turnout topped 38% of eligible voters. That is the highest turnout ever registered at the same time for any two-day referendum.
