After the great participation in the primaries to choose the premier candidate of the Democratic Party, and the success of Pier Luigi Bersani in the ballot on Matteo Renzi, tomorrow and Sunday voters and militants of the Democratic Party will be able to choose possible candidates for Parliament for the general elections in February.
It will be possible to vote tomorrow, Saturday 29 December, between 8 and 21 in Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Alto Adige, Umbria, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, and Calabria, and at the same times, Sunday 30 December, in the other regions ( Veneto, Trentino, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, Marche, Lazio, Puglia, Basilicata, Sicily and Sardinia).
Voters will be able to express a maximum of two preferences which must, however, be different by gender. To find the locations of the polling stations, together with the list of candidates for each region, you can connect tospecific site. The right to vote is limited to voters enrolled in the primary register of Italy Common Good (those, to be clear, of the candidate for prime minister) and members of the Democratic Party in 2011 who have renewed their membership up to the time of the vote. In order to vote, it will also be necessary to declare oneself elector of the Democratic Party, sign an appeal for the vote to the party and pay a contribution of at least two euros.
The parliamentary primaries of the Democratic Party, however, will not choose all the candidates for the elections. 90% of the candidates from the Democratic Party will emerge from the selection, while the remaining 10%, about ninety candidates, will enter the so-called "Bersani price list", which will certainly include the now former Anti-Mafia prosecutor Piero Grasso, who today, in a joint press conference with the party secretary, announced his resignation from the judiciary.
Grasso's main objective, according to his statements, is a "project to revolutionize the justice system that must be tackled gradually". During the same Bersani press conference, after having defined Grasso as a "symbol of morality", closed the door to the ministers of the caretaker government led by Mario Monti, announcing that the Democratic Party will not nominate any of them.
