Government. Days from polling day to the government's swearing-in (governo.it, 'I Governi nelle legislature'): 2008 Berlusconi IV 8 May (25), 2022 Meloni 22 Oct (27), 2013 Letta 28 Apr (63, from 24 Feb), 2018 Conte 1 Jun (89). The government needs confidence from both the Chamber and the Senate. A government market needs a deadline beyond the longest precedent. Not before . Precedents: 25 and 27 and 63 and 89 days from polling day.

    precedent
    Polls close at 23:00 local: Law 147/2013 art. 1(399) sets voting 'nella sola giornata della domenica, dalle ore 7 alle ore 23' (as summarised in Camera dossier D25027b, 2025); on 19 Dec 2027 Italy is on CET (UTC+1), so 22:00 UTC. The Chamber is counted after the Senate in each section (interno.gov.it). 2022 precedent: on the morning of Tue 27 Sep 2022 the Viminale still showed 61,394 of 61,417 Chamber sections (abilitychannel.tv, published 27 Sep 2022 10:44 UTC, quoting the ministry). The window closes at the end of Tuesday, two days after the vote: an ESTIMATE that errs late. Unofficial ministry figures, not the proclaimed result. Caveat: several recent votes (2025, 2026 referendums) were held Sunday and Monday (07:00-15:00) by special decree-law derogating from art. 1(399); if 2027 does the same, polls close Mon 20 Dec 15:00 CET (14:00 UTC) and this window shifts by a day.

    precedent
    The official result is the proclamation of the elected by the Uffici centrali circoscrizionali after the Ufficio elettorale centrale nazionale at the Court of Cassation has allocated seats (DPR 361/1957 arts. 12, 83-86). 2022 precedent: the central office met on 3, 4 and 8 Oct 2022 and finished the Chamber allocation on 8 Oct 2022, day 13 after the 25 Sep vote (Cassation minutes, contentId=ELE27502; ANSA 8 Oct 2022: 'ha concluso le operazioni funzionali alla proclamazione degli eletti alla Camera'); the new Chamber first met on 13 Oct 2022, day 18 (governo.it: XIX Legislatura dal 13 ottobre 2022). The window opens on day 8 (Mon 27 Dec 2027, an ESTIMATED floor; Christmas falls inside it) and closes at the end of Sat 8 Jan 2028, CET: Constitution art. 61 requires the first sitting 'non oltre il ventesimo giorno dalle elezioni', and deputies must be proclaimed to sit. Contested seats are then judged by the Chamber itself (Giunta delle elezioni, Constitution art. 66), not by a court, and that takes months, so there is no court-validation stage. Caveat: a new electoral law ('Stabilicum') passed the Senate on 15 Sep 2026 and awaits a final Chamber vote (Il Post, 15 Sep 2026); it may change the allocation procedure. Re-check once it is published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale.

    estimate
    Constitution arts. 92-94: the President of the Republic appoints the President of the Council and, on their proposal, the ministers; the government must win a confidence vote in both Chambers within ten days of its formation. By practice consultations start only after the new Chambers have met and elected their Presidents; the first sitting date is set in the convocation decree (2022: 13 Oct, day 18). The floor (27 Dec 2027) is an ESTIMATE matching the earliest proclamation; no statutory deadline for forming a government.

    Polls close 23:00 CET (22:00 UTC) under Law 147/2013 art. 1(399); the Senate ballots are counted first, straight after the close (interno.gov.it). 2022 precedent: on the morning of Tue 27 Sep 2022 the Viminale still showed 60,375 of 60,399 Senate sections (abilitychannel.tv, 27 Sep 2022, quoting the ministry). The window closes at the end of Tuesday: an ESTIMATE that errs late. Unofficial figures, not the proclaimed result. If a special decree-law again adds Monday voting (07:00-15:00), polls close Mon 20 Dec 14:00 UTC and the window shifts by a day.

    precedent
    Senators are proclaimed by the Uffici elettorali regionali once the Ufficio elettorale centrale nazionale at the Court of Cassation has fixed the national figures (Senate electoral law, D.Lgs. 533/1993). 2022 precedent: the central office's Senate minutes are dated 4 Oct 2022, day 9 after the 25 Sep vote (VERBALE_SENATO_4_10_2022.pdf, Cassation contentId=ELE27502); the new Senate first met on 13 Oct 2022, day 18. The window opens on day 8 (Mon 27 Dec 2027, an ESTIMATED floor) and closes at the end of Sat 8 Jan 2028, CET, the latest first sitting allowed by Constitution art. 61 ('non oltre il ventesimo giorno dalle elezioni'). Contested seats go to the Senate's own Giunta delle elezioni (art. 66), not to a court, so there is no court-validation stage. Caveat: the pending 'Stabilicum' electoral law (Senate vote 15 Sep 2026, final Chamber vote pending) may change the procedure.
