Actually that was only partial. At around 72% of the precincts counted the percentage of voter turnout is nearly 65% and rising.

Re: Turnout Italy (none / 1)

Now around 66%. Voter turnout has traditionally been very high in Italy. It appears to be within the general trend of eroding disinterest for politics but 10% lower than 2004 is still high.

Re: Turnout Italy (none / 0)

It's like that for every election. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but they seem to put up boards all over town with space for posters from all of the parties.
