The Repubblica is now putting the Democratic Party as the first party and likely to win the Senate on the basis of the exit polls. However, this neglects to emphasis that Berlusconi's People of Freedom Party is in a coalition with the Lega Nord. Veltroni's party beats Berlusconi's party but not his coalition.
Votes will be first counted for the Senate this time in accordance with directives by the Minister of the Interior. There are less votes for the Senate as one must be at least 26 years of age.
