Italian Judicial Reform Referendum: 'No' Camp Leads in Initial Polls

The referendum on judicial reform in Italy has concluded with a lead for the 'No' camp, according to initial exit poll results. The data indicates that the percentage of voters who supported the reform ranges between 47% and 51%, while the percentage of those who opposed it ranges between 49% and 53%. The reform concerned the separation of the careers of prosecutors and judges, as well as the reduction of the powers of the Superior Council of the Judiciary. Voter turnout was significant, as citizens were called upon to express their opinion on a major change to the country's judicial system. Final results are expected later, which will determine the course of judicial reform in Italy.
