1946 Italian general election

Common card · No. 210037

General elections were held in Italy on Sunday 2 and also on Monday 3 June (but until noon) 1946. They were the first after World War II and elected 556 deputies to the Constituent Assembly. Theoretically, a total of 573 deputies were to be elected, but the election did not take place in the Julian March and in South Tyrol, which were under military occupation by the United Nations. For the first time, Italian women were allowed to vote in a national election and run for a seat in the Constituent Assembly. This election was held concurrently with the 1946 Italian institutional referendum on the abolition of the monarchy.
