The process of counting votes for and against the constitutional referendum in Italy on justice reform has begun. The counting began at 3:00 PM, while the first data are now emerging that indicate a failure of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's initiative.
According to the latest update, about 45.33 percent or (4,518,294 votes) voted in favor of the constitutional changes. 54.67 percent or (5,449,468 votes) voted against the constitutional changes.
The trend shows a lead for those who said (No) to the constitutional changes, but there are still many boxes to be counted. Currently, it is learned that only 24,362 centers out of 63,740 in total have been counted.

It is worth noting that in the two days of voting, 26,972,681 citizens with the right to vote participated, or about 58.93 percent of voters.
The count is moving at a rapid pace, but many centers are still missing, especially from the southern regions and those abroad, where the vote for (No) is usually stronger. Full data is expected in the coming hours of this afternoon/evening, perhaps by late evening or night.
We remind you that this is a confirmatory referendum: no quorum is required, the majority of valid votes decides. If (NO) is confirmed as a majority, the constitutional law adopted in October 2025 does not enter into force and the Constitution remains unchanged. If (YES) receives a majority, the reform enters into force immediately.
