1976 Italian Senate election in Lombardy
Lombardy elected its seventh delegation to the Italian Senate on June 20, 1976. This election was a part of national Italian general election of 1976 even if, according to the Italian Constitution , every senatorial challenge in each Region is a single and independent race.
Lombardy obtained three more seats to the Senate, following the redistricting subsequent to the 1971 Census .
The election was won by the centrist Christian Democracy , as it happened at national level. Seven Lombard provinces gave a majority or at least a plurality to the winning party, while the agricultural Province of Pavia and Province of Mantua preferred the Italian Communist Party .
Background [ edit ]
The Italian Communist Party , which had annexed the Italian Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity , strengthened under Enrico Berlinguer 's leadership, reducing the gap with the Christian Democracy , which by its part obtained some votes from minor forces, as the Italian Liberal Party and the Italian Democratic Socialist Party , to face the red rising.
Electoral system [ edit ]
The electoral system for the Senate was a strange hybrid which established a form of proportional representation into FPTP -like constituencies. A candidate needed a landslide victory of more than 65% of votes to obtain a direct mandate. All constituencies where this result was not reached entered into an at-large calculation based upon the D'Hondt method to distribute the seats between the parties, and candidates with the best percentages of suffrages inside their party list were elected.

Constituencies [ edit ]
No senator obtained a direct mandate. Please remember that the electoral system was, in the other cases, a form of proportional representation and not a FPTP race: so candidates winning with a simple plurality could have (and usually had) a candidate (usually a Christian democrat) with more votes in their constituency.
