An exit poll is due at 11pm local time (10pm BST), when voting closes
Analysis: Internal rivalry could threaten Meloni-led coalitionEurope holds its breath as Italy expected to vote in far-right leader
Election day in Italy has been marked by long queues at polling stations with thousands of people waiting an hour or more to vote. Giorgia Meloni has postponed her vote because of the crowds, and Silvio Berlusconi remarked he had “never seen” such long queues (and he’s seen a lot of elections.)
But it doesn’t seem that the crowds are related to turnout. So far, that is eight percent lower than in the last election in 2018. By 7pm 51.25% of eligible voters had voted for the lower house or Camera dei deputati. In 2018, turnout at 7pm was 59.25%.
