据意大利国家电视台Rai报道，意大利众议院周三通过了政府对选举改革法案的第三次也是最后一次信任投票，为周四的最终无记名投票铺平了道路。
Italy’s Chamber of Deputies approved the government’s third and final confidence vote Wednesday on an electoral reform bill, paving the way for a final secret ballot Thursday, according to public broadcaster Rai.
议员们以228票赞成、144票反对、3人弃权的结果支持了关于第3条的信任动议。该条款重新划分了南蒂罗尔的几个选举选区，包括梅拉诺、布雷萨诺内和博尔扎诺。
Lawmakers backed the confidence motion on Article 3 by a 228-144 vote, with three abstentions. The provision redraws several electoral constituencies in South Tyrol, including Merano, Bressanone and Bolzano.
下院周二通过了关于第1条和第2条的信任动议，这两条涵盖了众议院和参议院的选举制度。
The lower house approved confidence motions Tuesday on Articles 1 and 2, covering the electoral systems for the Chamber of Deputies and Senate.
议员们还以214票赞成、0票反对的结果于周三通过了第8条，反对党则选择弃权。该规定将异地投票的权利扩大到了家庭照顾者。政府并未对该条款附加信任动议。
Lawmakers also approved Article 8 on Wednesday in a 214-0 vote, while opposition parties abstained. The provision extends voting away from one’s place of residence to family caregivers. The government did not attach a confidence motion to that article.
该改革法案已在参议院获得通过，经修改后返回下院，引发了反对党的强烈批评。
The reform, which has passed the Senate and returned to the lower house following amendments, has drawn strong criticism from opposition parties.
其内容包括在政党名单中采用选民首选候选人结合固定领衔候选人的制度，以及对选举规则的修改。
Its provisions include voter preferences alongside fixed lead candidates on party lists, as well as changes to electoral rules.
摩德纳的妇女协会已呼吁总统塞尔吉奥·马塔雷拉，如果在立法中发现违宪隐患，应将其发回议会重新审议，她们认为该法案的候选人遴选规则破坏了平等竞选公职的权利。
Women’s associations in Modena have appealed to President Sergio Mattarella to return the legislation to parliament if he identifies constitutional concerns, arguing that its candidate selection rules undermine equal access to elected office.
一个反对该改革的网络组织还表示，正准备在该法律生效后提起法律诉讼，寻求将其提交宪法法院裁决。
A network opposing the reform also said it was preparing legal challenges to file once the law takes effect, seeking a referral to the Constitutional Court.
这些议会投票正值关于可能在5月举行提前大选的辩论之际。副总理兼“意大利力量党”领袖安东尼奥·塔亚尼周二表示，他的政党赞成完成目前的议会任期。
The parliamentary votes come amid debate about possible early elections in May. Deputy Prime Minister and Forza Italia leader Antonio Tajani said Tuesday that his party favored completing the parliamentary term.
