Polling stations in Italy opened for a two-day referendum on judicial reform aimed at separating judges' and prosecutors' career paths. Voter turnout reached 14.88%, the highest in 23 years. The reform, which passed parliament but failed to avoid a popular vote, is a key test for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ahead of national elections. The reform proposes distinct career tracks and separate councils for judges and prosecutors. A 'Yes' vote could strengthen Meloni's position, while a 'No' could weaken her government.
