Italian March 2026 Referendum Rejects Meloni Judicial Reform 53.2% to 46.8%

Italian voters rejected the constitutional judicial reform 53.2% to 46.8% in the March 22-23, 2026 referendum, with turnout exceeding late polls. The reform sought to separate judges’ and prosecutors’ careers, establish a disciplinary court, and amend Constitution Articles 87, 102, 104, 105, 106, and 110, approved by the Senate on October 30, 2025. The outcome delivers a major setback to the Meloni government, analysts note.
