Far right expected to make big gains as Italy goes to the polls
oters cast their ballot at a polling station in Rome, Sunday, September 25, 2022
ITALIANS voted today in an election that could move the country’s politics sharply toward the right.
Polls opened at 7am and by noon turnout was equal to or slightly less than at the same time during Italy's last general election in 2018.
The counting of paper ballots was expected to begin shortly after they close at 11pm, with projections based on partial results coming early this morning.
