Diritto di voto, rappresentanza ed evoluzione del sistema dei partiti politici. Riflessioni a margine della recente giurisprudenza costituzionale

[automatically translated] The essay tries to reconstruct the notion of the right to vote as shown in the latest Italian constitutional jurisprudence. In particular, the Constitutional Court, in ruling no. 1 of 2014 seems to have embarked on a path of interpretation of freedom of character and personality of the very innovative voting. This approach involves the very meaning of "representation of the Nation" in art. 67, interpreted by the Court as a personal relationship between voter and candidate, and requires a renewed reflection on the role of political parties. The reading of these problematic aspects is addressed by the Author with particular reference to the issue of selection of candidates and the system of "closed lists."
